. Members of the Jury... It was a drive-by versing A poem invasion An act of irresponsible aesthetics Unmitigated form and passion Premeditated meter Alliteration Aggravated by both rhythm And rhyme It was a drive-by vision A prose inversion A wilding of fact and fantasy By all accounts A Declaration of Words Kevin |

YEs!!, great, i love this, its wonderful. I was laughing, i wrote a similar poem myself regarding free verse and the more traditional forms of poetry. However, it wasn't done with as much focus as your own. Great. |

kevin: i really like this one... i doubt i picked up half of the legal allusions in my reading, but the ones i did gather in my haste were very clever... *ugh* my roomate layed his dirty socks on my Twizzlers *argh*, but you didn't want to hear that... anyway, i can actually see in my mind's eye a lawyer with slicked-back hair and a bad suit delivering this speech to a jury... bravo  these twizzlers taste funny, **jerome the boy with no brain |

Watch out, Kevin. Alliteration by the bucketful, and good use of meter. If you accidently rhymed, you might get ejected from the free verse club. Great poem. It's never too late to have a happy childhood ... |

Kevin, I agree with haze about this being a spoken piece. The humor and character really shine through in this format,but the real impact would come out in a reading. Good poem either way. J.L.H. Jason I...I have seen the best minds of my generation... --Allen Ginsberg |

I actually read it with a bullhorn on the courthouse steps in protest when the city decided to charge street artists $100 for the privilege of being poor. Kevin |

Kevin...this poem is absolutely too creative in nature for me to look past that and find fault in it. How do you ever come up with this stuff? Oh, by the way, the flow is great! |
