Comments-
Uncleistvan: A good piece, for sure. Well written, and I can see where it earned it's votes, but it lacked a certain charm in my eyes
Preve: "Dear Emma" felt a little trite. Occasionally a good thing, but there wasn't much depth (that I noticed) beyond the superfluous majority of it.
Blippytheslug: Quite the gallant middle finger, which I enjoyed, much to my chagrin. No vote for you though!
Kamotz: Too much "Experimental" not enough "Poem." I didn't truly enjoy it till the end, when a subject matter materialized. Actually, I would have voted for the poem if it was just everything after "Uncle removes the old man's finger," even.
Ilvaldi: Quality. Sheer quality. I hope you'll re-join us sooner, rather than later. You will be missed, I assure you.
my mouth is full of winsome lies -
and eyes are full of death besides
but luckily the soul is wise -
it sees beyond my blindness and
forced failure makes a better guise,
so as i come again alive,
it feels like life's a decent plan
