Re: Wake
ChildofEden, What is the reader supposed to take away from the piece? Am I supposed to be moved, to empathize with the plight of the narrator, to enjoy it purely ...

Re: Stubborn Lover
Because I wanted to..., The gender-swapping pronouns seem random and undefined in S1 and S2, and while I get a pretty good idea of what's going on, I think you ...

Re: Hell Remains

Re: Your Soul to Hollywood $$$ (You’ll Never Get it Back)
Vernon, This is mediocre at best. The sentiment is pedestrian and offers nothing new in the area of Hollywood's culture (or lack thereof) to stimulate the reader. The presentation as ...

Re: lies
Wolf, Consider dropping all of S2. The enjambment in S1 works well enough until the last two lines. There is no reason to break " / find / out." It ...

Re: Just Before the Dawn

Re: Perhaps..

Re: The Moon Was Almost Full
Damn! By far the best poem for at least a few pages--there's a lot to like here. The foundation of "life" versus prenatal bliss could be fine-tuned a bit; the ...

Re: My Love
babyboymilky, This is junk and substantially worse than the other effort I read of yours. It's a poorly conceived, ineptly executed stream of gibberish that resembles millions of other pieces ...

Re: lost inside my heart
Twilight_girl101, I got to the end of S3 and almost passed out from sheer boredom. There's just not much to get excited about. The reader recognizes the situation but is ...
