abusethis is one of the few poems i have reviewed...so here i am reviewing. haha misspelling words...that's fun! i think i have much more difficulty with pronouncing words. i always had a knack for writing. anyway, interesting imagery per usual. you're one of the few people that i know that think up strange things like you.

haha...remember how you were listing the ways you want to die? and i just kept saying stuff like sleeping pills...oh did i mention sleeping pills? yay! go insanity!

oh and the poem is fun whether or not i'm staying on topic. forking through memories - they are rather bittersweet sometimes. the icy look stuffed through the mind's nook - weird image that provokes. like your tongue stuck to a frozen pole. (bravely in small steps) - that's the weird thing about humans, they just can't admit what is right in front of them no matter how many times people can stabbing them. don't hold it hot for another second - interesting last line. it reminds me of hot potato - not sure if you heard of that game. and that really annoying pop song "drop it like it's hot" it's weird how certain combination of words can cause instant memories and images. nice work!

abuseYour summary made me giggle.

I like the metaphor about irises, although the part about the "minds nook" comes out to forced to me. You write very interestingly.

abuseHmm. This is all right, the format doesn't really speak to me and some of the wordings are a little awkward. It's fine I think.

abuse'With the aid of a bulb as slick as eyeskin,see things so flatly,wider andcautiously(bravery in small steps)'

Reminds me of one of my all time favourite writers Sylvia Plath.Truly amazing work here. So imaginative it takes a few reads to digest.

abuseYou like puns, don't you? While these can be very clever, and very catchy, overdoing them can make them annoying.

This one's a lot more straightforward than the other one that I reviewed. Personally, I think this one is better, if only because it's more clear-cut. Of course, that could be because I'm bias towards simplicity, but I like this one.

abuseit seems so sexual but not

i cant put my finger on it right now, but it reminds me of something tropical

anyhow, lovely

(reminds me of looking over romeo and julietan extreme of sexual content, but quite an enjoyable read)

abuseThat’s sweet - I feel all fluffy and loved now -

This felt quite flirty to me, usually you’re so decisive and flowy but I kind of got the feeling that you were mentally jumping around through this - like a poetical bouncing off the walls sensation.

“I don't need, but I'll/knead” - makes me think of Cats/Kittens, how they knead you with their paws when they think you’re their mother.

Fecund huh, makes me think of a naughty word. Don’t ask me how I know what a word like that means, but isn’t it like, being over productive (something like that)

Good flirty poetry, keep up the good work.

Juliet.

abusei like the middle stanza. although the "ook" rhyme seems a little contrived with "nook". i won't pretend to understand, but its good to see you posting again (i really should get around to it...) good stuff.

abuseyour poems = some of my favourite here.

specifically for this poem, i thought the first verse was awesome, but have to agree that you probably dont want to start making a habit of the puns/mispellings - its good in each poem seperately, but if you think of all of your poems as a whole, it would be a pretty obvious trend.

ps. i had to go and look up "fecund" for myself. :)

abuseThis is really good. I like it a lot. I've been fairly fond of mildly abstract stuff as of late...
