    These are two separate poems, yes? If that is so, I like the second one better. It's less broken down, not as easily digested as the first. I like it ...

    Last year was a great success for me. Not necessarily were the poems a success, but, instead, the habit that it spawned. Over two hundred poems have come of last ...

    I don't really care for the badge system, but I think that it would be nice to streamline them...a design a little classier, a là writerscafe.org. Something aesthetically pleasing. -Kylan

  • Dramatic Poetry Re: sic semper sit

    This is good. Very apocalyptic, while, at the same time, being grounded on earth, in a relationship between two people. The juxtaposition is nice. You start off strong. Stanza one ...

    Hello, This was a good rhyming exercise, and you were definitely able to transport me to a cool, simplified woodland setting. However, I think your meter was a tad off. ...

  • Other Poetry Re: Coffee (a haiku)

    Interesting. Haikus are difficult to critique, because they are largely personal. Their size lends to a difficulty of mastery, thereby reducing them to scraps that the author will undoubtedly keep ...

You walk into this room at your own risk, because it leads to the future, not a future that will be but one that might be. This is not a new world, it is simply an extension of what began in the old one. It has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time. It has refinements, technological advances, and a more sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom. But like every one of the super states that preceded it, it has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and truth is a menace.
