bleed gilead 2006-01-16 ch 1,	abusesmart and classy, extends well and doesn't lose steam. love your beginning, the oxymoron. love "dry mouths filled with paper heat", love your ending stanza- it answers all the questions before and at once clarifies everything unwritten.
Smoky Bear 2006-01-16 ch 1,	abusemarvellous poem, very proficiently written, and profound in concept. the piece is very clever. not only do you analyze and break down his analogy, you twist and extend the metaphor and turn the whole poem in on itself. the use of the tobacco and somke is excellent because they conjure strong images in stand alone terms, and because of all the connotaions that go along with smoking. hell, you know all this, ya wrote the poem... i really liked this. it's brilliant!
