Re: Deleted

Re: Belated Ode To Charred Love
Wow. That was awesome - smokin', if you'll pardon the pun. There were a few things I felt which didn't mesh. For example: entrance Me as he ensured he was ...

Re: What is popularity?
To be perfectly honest, I've heard this a million times in almost in the exact same words. My advice to you would be to scrap this and start again. This ...

Re: Wishing AND Hopeing
This is very repetitious and has very little for the reader to connect with. As Snoink would say, it's something of a "shopping list" poem. Try showing us rather than ...
