The only critique I have is the mispelling of taste in line 5 of stanza 1. Otherwise I'd say this is very well written with a good amount of detail.

Hm. I must have been in a bad mood when I first read this coz for some reason I didnt like it - but on second reading I think its great. :shock: :roll: I'm weird. But hey, who isnt?

Anyways, I have no real critique - its very good just the way it is - except for the last line. I think you should change it. It doesnt have a strong enough link to the rest of the poem and there just isnt enough dramatic impact. So yeah, a bit of tweaking needed there. Otherwise, though, kudos on another great piece.

Excellent... I too am going to have to agree with everyone else. Chilling really is the best word. Great job, Jack. Normally I post my favourite lines but I would simply have to post the whole poem again. :D

Same here, no matter what you said (about it, not about what it's about, if that makes sense at all).

tread water
the rivers of blood will be dammed with rejuvenation
the givers of blood will be damned with retribution
the dolphins will laugh behind you
ride the storm and enjoy the calm

and pray there are no more glaciers in your way.

Chilling.

At the risk of sounding highly redundant, I don't know how you do it sometimes. bravo.

*shivers* bone chilling, Jack--maybe thats cuz I'm drugged up right now, but maybe not.

I liked this part a lot by the way:

wave after wave of salt burning forgotten wounds
the poison of poseidon swelling your veins
and you refuse to swim.



We always talk about the "doers" and "dreamers" but I'd like to give a big shoutout to the "tryers".
