Katybuckets 2006-05-31 ch 1,	abuseI absolutely love your writing.
not sure yet 2006-04-10 ch 1,	abusethat is a sweet title, and freud sucks and this poem is amazing, to say the least, beautifully written and interesting, very interesting...rambling poems are my favorite, excellent job
helium lost 2006-04-07 ch 1,	abuseI like your approach to the poem; it creates nice images and concepts, and I like how you say just enough to let the reader know the general idea, but not the details. Also, I didn't even notice the rhyme scheme until I read a review pointing it out; in any case, I think that that's the best kind of rhyme--the kind where the reader isn't aware of it, but it still contributes, subconsciously. Nice job on this poem. :) - hl
gold against the soul 2006-04-07 ch 1,	abuseRambling? I thought it was well organised before I read that! But even if you did just spurge it [so to speak] this is bloody good. The first stanza is my favourite with the erratic rhyming. I love the last four lines of that staza too. Keep posting! - gold against the soul
My New Pen Name 2006-04-03 ch 1,	abuseReally unique. . . I love it. Very descriptive. . . thought-inducing. Great job!: D
Calligrapher of Hearts 2006-04-02 ch 1,	abuseUnderstanding the female form yet forming no desire for it... Or another way of saying "I'm gay" LOL I really liked this one! One of my fave's xhXix
Bragi 2006-03-31 ch 1,	abuseAn intriguing and well-written peice. Abstract enough to provoke thought, but not so random as to be taken for granted.You use none of the old cliches in your imagery, which is a welcome change from the classic blood-and-roses poetry I usually have to put up with. I thank you.

xHannahx 2006-03-31 ch 1,	abusewow. i really like this :) its ok boy, anyone who's read any more of your poems will know you're not a horny schoolboy, no worries. this feels like more a kind of self-exploration than anything else, and its really effective. good stuff :) Han.
Faithless Juliet 2006-03-30 ch 1,	abuse(Pelvic bones from female wood) I love the abstractness of that title, and even a little bit about the “wood” it makes me think of horny schoolboys - such bad American slang. (I never did listen carefully enough to the methods or take in any more instruction) Methods make me think of peer pressure; like the pressure to be one way while lusting after something else. Boys, I tell you - I just will never understand - but I did get the sense throughout that you were taking on a very child-like narrative in this, like writing while looking back. It makes me think of boy’s back in elementary school where they make funof girls and fight when them or be mean but (supposedly) there like madly in love with us - all the while 9 out of 10 of those boys are hyped up on testosterone and jelly beans and are just plane in training. Again, I will never understand. The idea of the instruction makes me think how people huddle together, like guys do it and so do girls but they like huddle and it’s like: “Are they looking at me?” “Should I go talk to him?” Like I just heard this saying the other day about beer of all things, how it makes women loose and men brave - I tend to agree with that. (A fistful of ideas too lost for creation) This makes me think of all those times when you write a million verses or ideas down on a piece of paper but their so individualized that they don’t come together into anything but a naked sentence. t/h/a/t/c/h/e/d - I like how you did that; you made it look “Thatched” like the letters weaving in and out. (Raking developing fingers through books of glassy-eyed models with their secrets displayed.) I’m seeing a very classy version of Playboy with this - kind of going on the idea that our bodies are our temples and anatomy is this covered thing to be revealed - I don’t really agree with that, I think our bodies are one thing and our minds are another, I’m more eager to hide my mind then I am my body. - This makes me what to talk about the evil of supermodels - I can’t help it - I have to - why? I mean why? I think you get what I’m saying because I believe that men aren’t shielded from that issue. I don’t look like any model out there, and I never would want to look like someone else, it just bothers me that these stick figures with fake are bullying humanity into cookie cutter shapes and styles that don’t fit them mentally or physically. I think as a women that curves are sexy, beauty is natural and real and bitter and raw and no amount of botox or surgery can fix or change that. I think it’s worse for women even though a lot of men deal with that, there’s the issue that women want to be desired and lusted after and when men buy these archetypes and (forgive me) to it then the rest of us are like - “Is that what it’s gonna take for you to be with me?” It’s such a viscous cycle. I learned about shape (I like how you defiantly say SHAPE, and not stick figure) and the flex of a woman (Movement is like breathe to us) from borrowed looks and I didn't ever see them that way. - This makes me think that you were looking more to study then admire; more to see the sameness instead of the differences. (Female wood is the kind I carve with but wouldn't climb.) The first time I read this I thought that you wrote “Crave” but now that I see that it’s “Carve” I kind of like it both ways. Female wood - again I have to think about horny school children (you brought it up) women are just as horny as men; it’s a lie if you believe otherwise. This wood makes me think of sexuality - the differences between men and women and sex and sexual attraction and all that good stuff. I think sex is a part of the relationship but it’s more separate then anything else - there’s the relationship and then there’s the sex, their lovers themselves but also quite separate and I think that’s why most relationships don’t work out, because they confuse the two. -In response to your last review - (Good job on your exam by the way) yes the two beginnings were meant to play on each other, or off each other, depending on how you look at it. "12 x. twenty four hour days" a lot of people didn’t get that so I might have to go in and tweak it - the most basic translation is that there are twenty four hours in the day and I’m working no less then twelve of them but the jury issue is interesting as well. "A girl with all this strength" people have always told me that I’m strong and maybe on some levels I am but I always use that saying in poetry as kind of a wake up call (when ever I‘m in a traumatic moment) like yes, you are that strong! The whole poem shifts from issue to issue, in the beginning it’s more about working at relationships and the hardships as well as the pleasures of it and then it kind of falls into work and always having to work harder for something. One more goal is the constant in my life. Your perspective is always refreshing and evocative to read through. Keep up the good work. Much love,Juliet.
Aquafied 2006-03-30 ch 1,	abusehahyour note makes me laugh. everyone has a sick sense of humor unfortunaly anyhow but quite different. like an autobiography, but only a small piece (i feel pink now)
breezy nostrils 2006-03-30 ch 1,	abusethe Freud thing explains a lot, since he was probably a horny schoolboy, but i can't picture you being one. even though, most guys are. (no offense) anyway, about the poem, the last stanza really stuck in my mind. maybe it was the imagery or the graphicness of it. anyway, nice work!
thursdays and rain 2006-03-30 ch 1, anon.	abuseand yes, your not a horny schoolboy (yet) but I think you're getting there.. -gives Freud a high five-
thursdays and rain 2006-03-30 ch 1,	abusehaha.. it was amusing from the 'i didn't really pay enough attention to the birds and the bees orientation but i think i'm getting the hang of this' attitude to the macho tone and all that jazz you got going on.. cleverly written (nudgenudgewinkwink)
