Poetry Critical 2.0
Hey guys, Donald here.
In a few weeks, this site will be 9 years old. 9 years! And I still know some of the earliest submissions by heart.
But, boy. That’s like 102 in web-years. So it’s time for something new. I’m building that something now with my nights-and-weekend minutes (and plenty of coffee). Buy me a cup?

Random Poem:
| Blankly |
treerain
|
Sits stares blankly | 1 |
At a screen | 2 |
That bursts with blue life | 3 |
Refusing to share its secret | 4 |
Across the lines of connection | 5 |
Into your mind | 6 |
Are you there waiting for my response? | 7 |
Staring back into the space | 8 |
Awaiting my call | 9 |
Firewall Bridge | 10 |
A place in anticipation of | 11 |
The fuel from my body | 12 |
Intellectual peace | 13 |
The tears that cross the cornered horizon | 14 |
Breaking in the stillness of sound | 15 |
Chills up my back | 16 |
Down into the mud of my longing | 17 |
Back into the caves of origin | 18 |
Back from the basis of time | 19 |
So I ask you now | 20 |
How primitive are we | 21 |
Now that we are in silent embrace | 22 |
Under the stars of yesterday | 23 |
Reaching into the past of tomorrow | 24 |
Right now, face to face | 25 |
In the impossibility of the gap between us | 26 |
Somehow I can feel your touch | 27 |
Without your being | 28 |
Without your spirit beside me | 29 |
To heal the wounds inflicted | 30 |
By the beginning of time | 31 |
