My thanks to Jodi, Annasbones,
Little star, JD;
Your words are far too generous;
For my simple poetry.

Craig you need not worry much
Do critique away;
For you will find I am not blind,
I see the light of day.

Tony, Aug, I know your type,
The kid who’s always snide;
Witty on the outside
But a knucklehead inside.

tony is the only commenter with the courage to tell the truth. this poem sucks. jodi just likes to hear herself talk. omar, you gotta go.

i’m a poetry fan and i must say this has all been cheap and lazy, Omar. but then again this contest is hardly the former for finding the next Muldoon.

i see only the barest allusions to poetic tradition and nothing at all that can be considered innovation.

“…As capable and efficient
as Mac OSX Snow Leopard”

…actually made me burst out laughing! Err…pity I was at work at the time. Whoops.

Omar, if I find anyone tries to vote you off, I’ll personally go to their house, ring their doorbell and run away.

(Well, maybe not, but I’ll be seriously miffed nonetheless.)

I can’t wait to read next week’s installment!

Have to agree with Jodi on this one – never been a poetry fan myself, mainly because I could never really understand it!! But this I can read, get a feel for what is going on, think I am enjoying the style and am gradually getting reeled in!!

Still some rodents around though, away that fateful day perhaps!

Your lyrical lines are such a joy to read. I have to admit to having never been a fan of poetry and wondered what all the fuss was with epics … now I understand.

Thank you for enlightening me!

I continue to love the manner in which you weave your humour and a very subtle but clever weaving in of the Unseen element. Pays to have a character who is blind!!
