    Jack picked out my only nitpick. This is a really gorgeous poem, whence, in your typical dark and dense style--other than S2, it's perfect. You're quickly becoming my favorite poet ...

    I agree with what's been said before: bulk it up a bit and add a few more levels, and knowing your skill with words, you'll have a minor masterpiece on ...

    Actually, I think the tense shift works here. It's as if someone who had been observing them was relating what they had been doing, and then what they are doing ...

    Well. It's an improvement. Still cliched, because you're still working from a cliched base idea. Admittedly, the cliches are more creatively worded and better--altogether, a step up, but still a ...

    *Cough navelgazing cough.* This is tripe. You've misspelled simple words like "impossible," and the whole thing is a ridiculous ego-trip. This should be a diary entry, not a poem. Scrap ...

    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 ...

    Meh. Your images were solid, but the rhyme scheme really didn't do anything for me, and your structure (i.e., linebreaks and the like) is odd. Better luck next time?
