abuseOh man, if that's the result of being blocked--you should be blocked a lot--and I really mean that in a good way.

Ditto to all the above,

abuseSpectacular.
I loved the parts in brackets. They were a nice addition.
"all that glitters needs a place to die," was very good.

abuseI can tell you really let go when you wrote this one. It's terrific. I wish that I could let my mind go like that. Your phrasing is awesome. I always have a hard time with writer's block, and not very many things seem to work. Even writing stream of conscious style is difficult. You seemed to conquer your writer's block very well =]

Great job!

abuseWOW this is beautiful. (Of course it is, you're talking about stars - how can it not be?) I don't understand the part in parenthesis... is it a quote from someone else? It shouldn't be all seperated like that if it's not because it takes away from the fluidity of the poem.

Your words are wonderful. I want to soak them in. "The sight of sugar sizzling on my skin" (alliteration!) I love the last 4 lines especially. Ah this is brilliance. Lurve!

I never do this, but this poem reminded me of this weird doodly-thing I wrote under "Scenes for Practice" called Stars... yeah. Don't read it out of spite against my shameless plug here... but when I read the line "and bid them fall to my extended fingers" I thought of my own writing (because I am just THAT conceited) and thus this message.

abuseI like the complexity of this. It leaves the reader to really ponder it. I love line 3. I also like the alliteration, "sugar sizzling on my skin." Also, "slaver" is an excellent word, very onomotopoeic. You have great diction.

abuseVery beautiful imagery. I particularly like the lines:
"I might crane an ear and listen as their insides hum
like angry spirits caught by their own webs"

"Hunger-bitten, I gape at stars
and bid them fall to my extended fingers."

For me, I see a poem describing someone with contempt (which I share) for the Hollywood types. I see a person who will enjoy their falling from infallibility and laugh as they are destroyed by their own creations.

I'm jealous. You're an amazing writer, and so young. I know talent and hard work are two ingredients and you make me feel sorry for myself that I skipped every English class that I could.

Write on.

abuseI like this part: I will not forget my thanks, though my mouth will slaver
at the sight of sugar sizzling on my skin.
(And will they weep to fall so from the sky?)

it's sweet, sounds as sweet as a candy
