Little girl Big world chapter 1 . 9/20/2009
This is just a wonderful comparison. Nicely written to address a serious issue. I liked the ending especially.

Wow, amazing piece. The wording of this is so rich and descriptive that I was completely drawn into the words. Even though the lines were long, it read smoothly with seemingly no pause or hesitation. Not to mention how true your meaning is. I love the image of the last two lines.
Faithless Juliet chapter 1 . 7/31/2009
Wow, you've got some anger in this...

I like what you have to say, there is something to be said - both of jealousy, and understanding - when a poet reads another poet's piece and allthey feel is contempt. You should that very well here. Writers by nature are harsh people, I think we have to be in order to understand and create life as we do.

Much love,

Juliet.

I like this. It sort of say to me, screw everyone who wants poety to be perfect. An excuse, if you will, for our imperfections.

I like it. :D

Very clever. You're still great.

octopus cuddling chapter 1 . 7/29/2009
one of the few times i've laughed aloud while reading poetry. Favorite, because it's too truthful and far too witty to only be read once. A clever analogy.
Love And Some Verses chapter 1 . 7/27/2009
I loved this. So raw, as with most of your work it really captivates me. I liked the use of metaphors within this, the similarities drawn between 'dieting' to get the perfect figure and writing poetry. As always, amazing.
for shame chapter 1 . 7/27/2009
this is so amazing, it renders me speechless.

it's nice to have a little fat. muffin tops are going to come back in style. (:

There's perfection in imperfection when it comes to poetry.

And one of my favourite things about your poems have always been the analogies.

:), altho i have a hard time

believing this much resembles

your physique. but you never

know. fairly often i accidentally

start in the middle. i'll cut

huge swathes and move them around

like shuffling a deck of cards.

i don't necessarily care too much

for the compulsive preservation of

the spacetime continuum when i'm

sniffing out a new effect. but i

do always edit the crap out of

them, although this is probably

seldom noticable; imagine how

verbose they were in their earliest

incarnations, with feet sprouting

from shoulders and tongue trailing

down around the toes...

"Never leave your poem bare

or your body, to be fair."
young and the reckless chapter 1 . 7/25/2009
this brought a smile to my face,

because i know i could always work a little harder on each piece,

but i just post it the way it is anyway. :)

"love handles filled with awkward pauses and inappropriate juxtapositions,"

it just made me grin from the wit of it.
