Re: Gay Rights
This seems like a moot point to me. Homosexuality exists, appears to have always existed, and probably will for a long time to come (until humanity blows itself up or ...

Re: Love vs Hate
Long, cliche and kind of boring to read. To be honest, I kind of gave up after a few stanzas. If I were you, I'd take Cade and Ayra's advice ...

Re: Exuberant Friend
It's a nice little snippet, but it's lacking. I think you should develop this more. As it is, the reader is simply left with a puzzled smile. The girl in ...

Re: All I Wanted.
I'm with Reakeda - not very inspired. I think the problem is that it's rather self-absorbed. This poem is all about you, you, you, and it's expressed in a manner ...

Re: Haiku
Mm. It was a haiku. I'm not a big fan of the form, although done well they can be breathtaking. I found this one a bit lacking in pizazz to ...

Re: Pen to Paper (formerly Script)
I actually really liked this. The stanzas were self-contained but related to one another nicely, and the overall transition through all the states of novelling was amusing and well-expressed. I ...

Re: Because I am Your Rose
Jasmine Hart covered it pretty well, but I'll add my own two cents anyways. Your tone is perfect, and you've got the rhythm down. Unfortunately what stops this from being ...

Re: Love
On the one hand, I like this. The cynicism is nicely balanced and it's an interesting look at love. I particularly like your first stanza - a very strong intro ...

Re: darkness
I agree with MadHatter. It was passable, but ultimately lacking in meaning and to be honest, rather repetitous. In my opinion, you really need to think about what it is ...

Re: A Child Molester's Fantasy.
I second chocoholic. I find the whole thing rather matter-of-fact. Less emotion than a news story, even. If I were you, I'd take a step back and think about what ...

Re: How Do You Lose What You Have Never Had?
The best bits of this poem were: "In the middle of the night I dream of you touching me deep below the surface." because it's just so damn unique, and: ...

Re: sometimes
No offense or anything, but this didn't really fly for me. What is its purpose? What are you trying to say? What insight or novel perspective are you conveying to ...

Re: Love
My main issue with this (aside from the spelling and grammatical errors, which Audy has already gone over) is the fact that it is wearyingly cliche. It could come from ...

Re: Ice Land

Re: My Darling
Hm. It didn't really flow for me really. Kit mentioned most of the major things, but I'd also add that "plenty" would read better as "aplenty" and I don't think ...
