Are we henceforth doomed? Tell me, or a curse upon you! From dust's first blow was destruction destined, always, for this, our mankind? For what shalt thou die? Punishment or pleasure, confess! Follow the trail of thy footsteps, to either destruction or joyful discourse. Shall you know? Or wait to find fresh. Life begs the question! This pain, this agony, torment gives birth to pleasure; henceforth the phase begins anew! Friend or foe! Say quick, say true. Tell me now, or meet my wrath first hand. |

With all the pretty and dramatic words, it seems like you're just playing at wrath. It doesn't strike me as being sincere. It strikes me as you're just watching too much tv lately. You know what I mean? I like it, but I've read much better from you. (Based on my feelings as to what a good poem is, obviously everyone else liked it a lot. So maybe I'm just weird.) - Jaime the faeries creep into my hair at night leaving it in terrible knots |

I agree with Jaime that it does sound overly dramatic. However, it would fit nicely into a Shakespearean play. At least you kept the 16th century tone to it. Or was it 15th? Uhm...I don't know my dates. THIS IS WHY I FAILED HISTORY! (well no, but I would have if I actually took the course ) Anyway, bravo for the most part. |

Two things: One, I had a lot on my mind. Two, I had just finished watching "William Shakespere's Romeo and Juliet," the new version. So this is what came out. I think it's better then the crap job I've been doing of late, but, I know I can do better. *shrugs* ~Titus Es ist gut, daß das Leben die Toten studieren sollte. |

While I'll agree with other's that this was overly dramatic, I still liked it. I always seem to enjoy the form in which you write, even you semi normal stuff(meaning not out of a shakspear play!) Has an older sounding format to it that I really enjoy because It is not found as often anymore. Anyways I'm done rambling now! Good job as always. People always ask me why I don't look toward my future I tell them to many interesting things are happening today. |
