Re: A Dark Eyed Girl

Re: You Can't Spell Cyanide Without C-ya
I have to say, whence, you've got to be one of my favorite poets on this site. You have a very unique and clear style, and you've certainly got a ...

Re: Missed Opportunity
I d'no if I can agree with Chandni on this one; your rhymes did feel rather forced to me, especially the "curb/Serb" one. I will agree that the ending was ...

Re: Frustrated on Tuesday
:lol: I hear you. One thing--pay more attention to rhythm and flow, like Clau said. I rather liked the morbidness of it in connection with the topic, too... I know ...

Re: Galilee's Dream
First of all... it's Galilei. Galileo Galilei. Galilee is, as Ink pointed out, a Biblical city. And I second everything Brad said. Scrap this, try reading some decent poetry, and ...
