Poetry / Curls
Version 1

She was mocha cream skinned, like coffee, she, my weakness like she still is, and all those curls! I pretended they were a nuisance, but at night, I reveled at them in our bed. I would tangle my fingers in those twisting brunette curls and pretend that I could never let them go. She was this shy beauty, unimpressed by her reflection, constantly a critic, even in the face of all my compliments. I loved those curls, and watching her smile peek from behind them she was a mocha cream skinned an...

Poetry / Reckless abandon
Version 1

The timid are the greatest fools, the ones who hold back, deserve the pity from those who hold nothing back. I will tell you an unpleasant truth about reckless abandon and the nature of love: neither should be done carelessly Love, like reckless abandon does not know how to deceive, and this truth is a part of me for I love and I live in that way.

I remember the cold and the little cars- Little French men in little French cars on little French streets. We stayed in a little hotel. The trains were the biggest.

Poetry / Plum Wine
Version 2

It swirls in the bottom, plum wine in a crystal glass, sweet and potent splashed over my tongue with chicken stir fry. It reminds me of cooking for you or orange chicken at Triple 8's, and so many things do this to me. Memories are just as sweet as a glass of plum wine at midnight. The laundry buzzer blares at three past the hour, reminding me of the quiet in my house and the quiet in my heart, it is so silent. Quiet drenches the sound of the television, the washing machine, the dishwas...

I like the use of the themes of chaos and collision fueling your arousal. Also, the idea of deprivation from unwanted things. It appears at first to be sometihing of a comlaint against the thoughts, but after stepping back, I begin to think you are thankful. I think your punctuation is working against you, it doesn't seem to fulfil its purpose; to express the completion or continuation of the sentence. I couldn't tell whether or not to feel the pause at line breaks or punctuation points. I lo...
Your metaphors are incredibly lurid, intoxicating, and at times hard to digest. Much like she must have been, how tequila spins the head and peanut putter will stick to your throat. You are obviously gifted with your words and your vision of the character (or perhaps he is you) is conveyed with a depth of personal understanding that I found both profound and explicit. So often when poets are deciding how to describe emotional states, they use abstractions - you have not made this error and th...

perfectly vague. absurdist like stoic clown. - by way of heavens dragons, please, bring me a batch of chinese eggplant so that I might make eggplant parmesan with turkish kebabs and muslim women I pissed on my hands to keep them from getting chapped, perhaps your father should polish his shoes more often. would you like to meet my paraplegic girlfriend?
I appreciated the method of representation - the timed blocks - it operates very well with the themes of police, firemen, the towers, - construction, operations, modus operandi - how it all happened minute to minute, covered on live television and separated into timed blocks. The innocence of the day is well covered in what would typically be daily activities and daily discussions and plans. The tragedy is slowly conveyed beginning with the chiefs face, and assurances to calm down and just pe...
Poetry / Art Critic
How unduly cruel and misinformed so called "experts" can be when it comes to art - or rather what they do not consider art. They are much like murderers and often recoil and eat their words once the beauty of a work has been seen by the eyes of those open to its message.
