abuseI really liked this poem, but there are a few things that are… unsettling (?) about it. Firstly, I have trouble understanding the line "A king's feast about them." I think there's a grammatical error in it, but I can't place it. Also, though I do like the description "And crimson/ becomes red… ," I do think that 'clear' is a rather akward word to use. Maybe "and disappears" or something to that effect would work better.

I like the last stanza. Nice conclusion. I get the feeling it's supposed to represent the utter callousness to killing in that the price of lettuce is all-important. Although I would scratch the word "and" at the beginning of the stanza.
Altogether, it was enjoyable. Keep writing! : ]

abusethis poem was not enjoyable. I couldn't really feel what u were talking about and felt that it was just a bunch of words really just put together. I think u really need to work on this.

abuseA powerefull piece of writing. What can i say, i love poetry, and that my friend is poetry.
'Cleansing the wounded earth,
And crimson
Becomes red
Becomes pink
Becomes clear;'
That was great imagery. The kind of imagery that makes you ponder.
Well done.

abuseLoved the images, really did. And the rhythm manipulation - 'Becomes clear;/ Water to sear the heart' - oh fantastic. The kind of poetry you find yourself saying aloud almost involuntarily.

The last verse was interesting - it seemed to add a level of history or occurrence to the poem. Which on the one hand doesn't quite fit with the abstract, generic nature of the poem - but on the other hand, made me grin as a final, devastating reference to 'harvest' and 'bounty'. Clev-er.

abuseI see what you mean about the several poss categories; it confused me a little bit first time, must admit. Lots of other ppl have said it but I'm gonna say it too; the descrpition of red fading is lovely - wait, that whole stanza is lovely, from wounded earth (don't you just love that expression?) to 'sear the heart'. The end of the last stanza is brilliant. It is so ENGLISH! Whcih is, you understand, extremely refreshing. I don't know why, but I really like the '- Official.' Those last 3 lines are a great contrast to the rest of the poem - wonderful.

abuseWhoa, I'm sort of confused... but I think it sort of make sense. It's the weekend, I should not have to think. Ahem, anyways, it's good, and I like the visuals and rhythym. Is this about bunnies, because if so I would be very sad. Once again, excellent job, and I'm sorry it took me so long to send a review your way. ^.^

abuseAs a previous reviewer said "violent beauty", I have to agree. This is a disturbingly beautiful poem. I especially like the "And crimson..." part where it becomes all those different shades. It does have many levels, you're right.

abuseWow. Just... wow. I know that's not useful at all, but it's all I can come up with.

Oh, and I saw a rabbit in my front yard today and thought of you. :)
