within my heart

0 posted 2002-11-16 11:52 PM



as entrering your shallow pool of friendship
had to swim through your river of lies
climbed the mountains of make believe
made a naked discovery


underneath a sentimental charm
found a frail trembled emotion
grown from a peculiar frustration


you had transformed endorsements
which caused exotic behavior


kinds of vain condolences
powerful entrancing deceptions


your body was an anxious cylinder
that caught us in your wordless conditioning.

a nice little rant. it was interesting, especially the last couplet in bold. however the begining was terribly weak, having three cliches off the bat.

I think that this was awesome...! But I beg to differ with you "majnu" I think that her first statements were very imaginative and unique....Just what I think...Don`t take it personally..

Personally, I found that the beginning held onto my attention more strongly than the ending, but then again, I have a short attention span. Seems like you started off on one path then switched directions a little too quickly (in leaving behind the entire picture you were painting). But I still think it is a good piece that could be even better. Thanks for sharing!

Hope you don't mind my 2 cents Boy.  I liked the first stanza, but not much of the rest.  It used too many big words.  I mean it seemed as if you were trying to convey just your vocabulary, instead of any sort of emotion.  On the other hand the first stanza, I liked, and I did not think it was cliched.

there was no substance to this piece at all.

"critique away!!!!!"

ok...

you didn't convey any emotion in this piece whatsoever.  and i must agree with aaron.

you're trying to hide your poetic shortcomings behind ten minutes with a thesaurus.  there was no thought put into this rushed piece, and no flavour.

nothing to keep the reader interested.

you tried too hard to impress [or insult, whatever] instead of expressing your true feelings.

i'm so bitterly disappointed.  betty, i think it's time you leave now.
