 Saint Red of Manic 2009-02-09 . chapter 1This one, is hard to peg. Usually, when rhyming in poems, you stick to a basic rule, or principle.
For example, AbAb, or AbAc or A. Meaning that every ending word rhymes, every other word rhymes, A rhymes with A, B rhymes with B. In this poem, this rule is offset. You have ABAA wich is a little hard to read.
The ideas in the poem are good, and expressed accordingly.
Nice job,

 Midnight In Eden 2008-03-21 . chapter 1Two things - you don't need the "the" before "freight trains" on the first line in my opinion and on the last line do you mean "dirt broke" or "dirty, broke"?
Otherwise, I love the simple accumulation of images. I wouldn't mind it expanded a touch but there's something beautiful about the gritty images contrasted with the carefree nature of this poem. Nicely done.
