i like the literal use of "petrified", and how it could be taken to mean scared. the title is fitting, although by no means standard [for me, this is a very good thing],
i hope i'm not expected to read all of these. not in one sitting anyway. If you can churn out this quantity, and this quality, then how in the name of Zeus' butthole are you not getting published?
ah, the world is a strange place. not quite as strange as the world depicted in this poem. or is it just a different strange?
sorry, i just realised, i'm still typing.

A bit weird, but I liked it. It has a mystic feel about it.

That's awesome! I can't write poetry worth a damn, but I sure like to read it!

The simplicity of this made it work beautifully for my tired mind. Well, I managed to read your whole profile...yes, whole profile *that is how bored I am*, and you interested me. Sadly, I may not remember a thing because of my current worn out mental state. WEll I've loved this and others of yours. R&R some of my stuff, thanks.

Okay. So why is it called "Monolith"?

melikes this one! its kind of creepy tho...but thats the way i like them!!

Interesting- the whole poem seems pessimistic and murky 'grey birds', 'useless flight'. It's sort of heavy if you know what I mean- the type of poem that makes your shoulders drop. 'petrified' changes the whole poem as now it's fear that's killing them not over-pessimism... as I said, interesting.

I like it but aren't the stones droping on the birds?

OOh.. It's pretty. Would like to see some continuation, but if not, alrighty :p . It intrigues me... Very nice.

Danka for reviewing meh.

You are the greatest... poetry writer-person... POET! That's the word. You are the greatest poet in the world. Now I shall do a dance.

(...And Tania did a dance. Hurray!)
