Welcome, Dying Immortal - My advice is to get your head out of your butt and your pen out of your navel. Not even mentioning the moronic meandering and didactic ...

bob: Don't entirely agree with that, thought some of it's about right. I think that society determines to a point what makes up 'poetry' (well, what constitutes anything, really...), but ...

Little-Lucy-- This is glorified junk -- a heavy-handed appeal for sympathy from a one-dimensional cartoon character. The images are hackneyed and the last strophe is the stuff of parody. This ...
