At first read, it confused me. I didn't really like it all that much. But, as I looked again, the words themselves are powerful, and it isn't bad, I just think more can be done with it. Great attempt at something new!

I think that I have this figured out...
go, stop, go, stop, it's all so natural, and happens all too often...
But "die" only happens once.
Great job, once again.  I'm gonna go and try this myself.

Eternal life without the darkness isn't life at all- it is a lobotomy.

This form is very creative but it seems empty. Im not sure if it's because there are no sentences or because of the vacancy of connection.
But I really like this style, keep them up.

YES!!!! It seems empty! Allan has the right idea too. It's supposed to kinda be like life is all too many times empty and alot of it has no importance since it happens so much "go stop go stop" anyways I understand it's not all that great since my friends and I are all beginers to known poetry forms and this is like the first few of a new style so of course it will need a little polishing, but anyways thank you all for your opinions.

ok well I had to read it twice to establish what it made me feel...  It reminded me that we are born we live and we die, what is in between is life...  I am not sure what I am thinking actually, I am confused...  I think the words flow together well, but it needs something in it, though I am not sure what...  ummm, I will think about it and let ya know what I come up with!!

Melz!!

You can't hurt me anymore than I have hurt myself already...

i think that it is a very good form of experimenting, i really liked it.

as i kept thinking bout this i realized you need talent to write a lot of things in this style without it getting
a) boring
b) over used
c) annoying

because its listing and somebody would just start naming things that go in a sequence making it all of the above, but it can be done. have some in my mind actually.

so good luck in your adventure and in your quest to changing freeverse as we know it and on screwing the literary world over with your use of verbs without the help of any other of the parts of speech.

Nice one here poet.


I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

right on man, even if these aren't the best and they don't really go anywhere if they inspire someone else to make one better or do something else thats off the wall and different then they have done all that I have wanted.

I think they've said it all, keep experimenting
