I like your poems. The last few lines of this, especially, really caught my eye. It expressed a great deal of hope tied up with pain and desperation in just a few words. Nice.

The last stanza breaks my heart... You have given "soul-selling" a good twist.

Gotta love those eBay bargains, huh? Nice poem - very much in the style of Bukowski and extremely likeable. The bold format was annoying, and if you were to re-type it, I'd get rid of it altogether. The simplicity of this poem is what made it so likeable. The last couple of lines were the clincher. First lines seemed somewhat pious - in a nihilistic (is it supposed to be nihilistic? that's how I read it - but that just might be me impressing my views upon it!) poem, 'unholy'... hmm. I didn't like it very much. If you could've said 'intrinsic mail'... but that may have dislocated your point too much... Crap, I'm musing out loud again. A really nice poem, anywise. Added to my favourites.

OMG! Dude, YOU'RE BACK! AH! *jumps up and down squealing*

Okay...better now. Sorry I did that...just couldn't help myself. Out of the old trio (or at least what I thought of as the old trio) of me (Starlite Dragin, once) you (Dice Darwin) and Otohime (now My Judith...wtf?) I was like the only one left for ages and ages and...shutting up.

So, yeah. I'm estatic 'cause both of you are finally BACK! Was friggin' lonely without anyone to reveiw constantly for no reason...

Unless you don't wanna talk to me anymore. Which I'd understand... *breaks into hysterical tears*

Joking. Really. Anyways, you want to contact me I'm on a brand spanking new account called Stray Enchantments.

So...yeah. Maybe hear from ya soon?

Ja (and welcome back),

That's quite an interesting take on selling your soul. Normally people would sell their souls to the Devil but this is very modern.

Now that makes me feel different about selling one's soul. I wanted to do that, just to see how high the bids would go, but now I'll change my mind after reading this.

Like I mentioned, the idea of selling one's soul on eBay sounds funny, but if the person had a reson like the man in this poem; it's really sad...

Short and beautiful. What an impact. Is this a true story?

haha amazing.
i love that your setting is introduced in the last stanza. i think that adds an awesome extra layer that the man already conceded is not who we should pity
as much as the woman who bought it
even though, in the end it all comes down to fact that this happens

dude it's just entirely amazing, actually.

i mean, i always really hate it when people try to explain their interpretations of my poems in their reviews. for some reason it just makes me really angry when they're wrong.
which is weird because i'm not really much of an angry person..
so i won't bother trying to explain what i took from it.

just that i really, really liked it. a lot.

Creative, beautiful poem. It's short but says a lot. Keep writing!

I dont even know the right word to describe this (which is a good thing- you left me speechless!)- but besides that, I love the fact that it's a story revamped into a poem too.

Omg...wow. That's...wow. Great job in putting it this way. Kudos. It's beautifully written.

Oh wow this is interesting. Well done. Keep writing.
