Re: Sub Rosa
It's not really my kind of poem...I enjoyed the voice and the sound very much, and you definitely have a talent for that. I just dislike poetry that's about an ...

Re: Marionette
The marionette image is way too overused. It's just...no. Just get rid of it. It might be fine to have one line that's like, "I'm like a marionette" or something ...

Re: An Unwanted Truth
I agree with Snoink; the poem is too vague for my tastes. In general, I get what it's about--the words being permanent, people unwilling to accept what they see right ...

Re: Motorway
(By the way, I love your avvie. Semicolon, I still need you; I love you!) Diction. This poem is drowning in its own vocabulary! You need way more narration and ...

Re: Mondays End In Coffeshops
B'lieve you meant "Coffeeshop" with two e's in your title there. Meaning. What do you want this poem to say to its reader? That "all's well that ends well," Mondays ...

Re: Help! I can't make it flow!
I agree with dumps are annoying. Why not do the whole scene? It's much more fun (and more informative) in the movies when they do a flashback rather than a ...
