i avoid cliché like the plague and i’ve put you out of sight, out of mind and out of my redundant head i’ve woken before dawn everyday, but over the past decade i’ve never caught a lover or even a worm without the perfect mix of vinegar and honey absence makes the days grow longer and my aching broken heart still mourns the memories soaked in love potion number nine and romeo’s cyanide suicide to err is human but to sing over water at midnight is the closest to divinity i’ve ever come le beau est “toujours” bizarre but “still” and “always” mean the same thing in french. "so when at times the mob is swayed to carry praise or blame too far, we may choose something like a star" --Frost |

good stuff i liked it I didn't get the humor though it was probably above my head I like simple jokes like why did the chicken cross the road ...to prove to the possum it could be done, sorry got it from my driving teacher but yes I liked the flow and stuff I"m just to short to get those tall jokes I'm not asking U 2 luv me I'm just letting out the truth no hold barred about what I feel nothing wrong with what I say |

This is interesting... very interesting. I also did not get the humor in this poem, maybe it went over my head. But I really liked some of the lines... they were very creative. "but "still" and "always" mean the same thing in french." That line was awesome! And the stanza that opens saying how absense makes the days grow longer was amazing. It flowed wonderfully, and talking about how the memories were soaked in love potion number nine was very creative. This is a very good poem, although I didn't find it humorous. Nice work! --Marie You can’t expect the roses to grow without the weeds. |

This was so amazing. A masterpiece! OMG! This was such an awesome poem. YOU! You are awesome. I am a fan of your writing and you just never cease to amaze me. I smirked at the end, but other than that the humor, I did not see......I see a light of pure talent. You are awesome.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |

Haha..... this is BRILLIANT!  Well I don't see how you can miss the humour in this if you know what a cliche is... I thought this was remarkably clever. Very, very good work.Blood Moon |

It isn't very often someone other than Sylvia Plath can make me just sit speechless after a poem...but you have managed to do so. Thank you. This was just what i needed to read today. |
