Tell me the purpose of no capitalization? I'm not saying that it ruins the poem, I'm just interested in unveiling the secret behind it. Great poem, makes me want shortbread. So... Opera singer, huh?

Vintage tyna01! :-) Lovely ambiguity and "shifting" in there.

Wonderfully disturbing. I'm favoriting this one.

oh wow, this is really different to most stuff. I like the way its written. Nice work.

very unique...yeah

I like the way this is written. Very good!

This reminds me of the movie Amelie! You should see it - there's this one part, and a French person says, "You could never be a vegetable. Even artichokes have hearts!"

Funky. And symbolic.

It was the title and description of this poem that caught my eye. The imagery in it is indeed pretty nifty. I like it

I really like this. The angry feeling is so prevalent, and the way she can't tell the heart from a vegetable recalls how little the cook actually cares. Great job!

And also, thank you for your review on my poem! I'm so glad you pointed out the things you did - those were exactly what I wanted people to notice (and so few do!). I try not to write too obviously, because that takes the fun out of analyzing it, at least to me. Anyway, thank you very much, and keep writing.

heh My girl's name is Christina WE

Ohh. That's such a sad little poem, but I like it anyways. The title originally threw me off, but I read it anyways because somehow I guessed it'd be an off-beat type poem, and it is but not to the point that the symbolizism is too extreme. And so, I likes it!

The imagery works well in your poem. I like it.

i like the symbolism in this, and the imagery too. nice work!

Artichokes look funny. But I like your poem. It's kinda disturbing and very very blunt.
