    Hi Lauren2010, You seem to alternate between decent imagery and useless description - pseudoimagery, as I call it. It turns this poem into an earthquake that raises the land to ...

    Hi Lil_Pau, I'm going to quote some of the especially nonsensical images in this otherwise "serious" poem. Here we go: breathing in scents of night, starlight and human Voices sang ...

    Hi tigs6969, You're absolutely correct; this isn't emo junk. It's just plain junk, an ugly concoction of clownishly angry emotions clucking around a cage of poorly constructed imagery - and ...
