Re: Kisses
Hey Hibiscus - Can't say I enjoyed this poem. Neither the subject matter struck me as particularly inventive, nor the way you addressed it. Mainly, whatever effect you wanted to ...

Re: my heart's in the lacquer box
Hey Jagg - I find it hard to pinpoint why this reminded me of Siken so much (perhaps it is our mutual love for him :P), but it did. Maybe ...

Re: Postmortem
Kylan - So, another experiment. My kind of experiment. I enjoyed this, despite its relative length. And I think I rarely summarise my opinion of a work as succinctly as ...

Re: A Fox, A Dream and A Beast
Hey CardDragon - So! A dream poem! These are often nonsensical, bizarre and career off in wild directions much like the human subconscious when allowed to run free. And this ...

Re: The Amusement
Hey Hibiscus - Me again! And I am intrigued at the way your writing style is so flexible, so eagerly changed. While 'Senses' had all your i's dotted and t's ...

Re: ShortSad
Hi leftnoa - When I see a poem as humorously cynical as this, I am intrigued. There is something so fascinating about the style, a kind of mundane character assessment ...

Re: Weathermen
Kylan - I did actually read this when you first posted it, but wondered if there was much point in critiquing something so obviously autobiographical. Not that I cannot critique ...

Re: kissing lessons
Hey Kylan - Obviously, I don't see this as a poem just about peaches, what with the metaphor you take the extra mile to highlight in your title and all. ...
