INTELLIGENCIA (Free verse) by INTRANSIT
Intelligence is the new ethnic cleansing the downer of four week old horses It is the Sumo, and the Mafioso and the clear cutter of forests. It is the bully making her rounds a critic at the opening and an unrestrained fire burning through cities to be it's own it's only desire. It is the microscope micrometer barometric pressure indicator pyrometer sandblast against the fender and the D.N.A. bender. It's the largest of silverback apes it's canines lodged in the back of the brain and a nuclear frost bearing down on the vineyard grapes.

Up the ladder: The Maguswolf

To Rockmage: You have serious problems! It's not right to just go around and give everyone low scores!

Save your energy, Leroy. Put it into your own work. It's just plain healthier that way.

Haha I just don't think it is fair that a good poem gets a 0 or a 1 just because some jerk feels like it!

Strong imagery and intensity. I would ditch the punctuation allowing the natural flow to place the periods and commas. It is a distractor to me. Enjoyable read.

If I had enough sense I'd be terrified by this

So I dropped the Ibex and some of the punctuation, cut some excess words so I hope it reads better, at least.

But what I need to persue is that opening line.

And line 8 needs more help. Bleh.

I can't see your comment, Mage. The counter is off.

there's always a line that needs something - I see what you mean about line 8, it's a little clumsy. Yet, the line works so well with a pause after own.

The last 6 lines are the best I've seen on poemeranker in months. The grammar Gestapo are going to be calling round about a couple of those apostrophes though.
