    As Brian said, it's not really a story or a poem, but a mix. The idea of being able to chronicle your life into a CD is genius. I really ...

    You IMed me this poem-song, which must be why I did not comment on it. Anyway, you know I liked it. I liked it again after rereading it. It seems ...

    Syntax is the order and selection of words in a poem. Frost had some poems where he demonstrated exemplar understanding of syntax. e.e. cummings also had an amazing mastery of ...

    The Wizard's Chest is awesome, and anyone who says it isn't is a moron. This magnetic poetry, however, is not. Except for the second one, that one is awesome. The ...

  • Other Poetry Re: New Poem (be afraid, be very afraid!)

    This is a redundantly obsessive poem about the people in your life. Instead of having an unbridled sense of childhood, I'd like to see something showing me a reserved sense ...

    This is not an apology for my below comment. I really was not pleased with this. What could have been a beautiful and moving poem was mutated into a teenage ...

    Oh, that's great! I love Christians who waste their time trying to convert people. It's so funny to watch, not funny to be in, particularly, but I like listening to ...

    You didn't need to explain to us what the poem's point was. I think most people could figure it out, so take out the very first sentence, please. Vulnerability shones ...

    Alexis or whomever, this will be harsh, so, for the sake of your feelings, I suggest you read no further. At the spot/in the room/where two walls/meet and greet/alexis is ...

  • Serious Discussion and Debate Re: Something to Believe In

    I don't find that, particularly, annoying. I think people stereotype because they essentially wanted to, but this just gave them a reason to. Freudian, perhaps, but that's what I think, ...

    Talk about redundancy. I don't think this pulled off the effect you wanted it to, or otherwise you didn't want a very good one. I'm just going to say that ...

    Well, Morgan, I must admit I'm thoroughly impressed. This is better than any combination of your suicidal poems. Point being that in death and suicidal poems, the plot doesn't go ...

    This purveys the sense of being original, but really it has all been said before. And, if you're going to write a poem, don't steal the lines from the Alamo. ...

    Mmmm... Hmmm... :nose twitches: I didn't like it. The rhythm was okay, but I liked how you did the "stop/drop/roll" or "stop/look/listen" which enhanced the rhythm. However, certain lines, such ...
