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:
| Life's a Gas |
unknown
|
One day I will be fifty-one. | 1 |
I shall kill myself | 2 |
not, on thirty's eve. | 3 |
Nor trumpet at forty | 4 |
of the prologue's end. | 5 |
| |
One day I will be fifty-one. | 6 |
The top of my head will bounce the sun. | 7 |
The earth will no longer move | 8 |
on ejaculation, women will scream | 9 |
'Werewolf!', as I slowly undress. | 10 |
| |
One day I will be fifty one. | 11 |
I shall celebrate with a short walk | 12 |
down the long pier, drop in | 13 |
at my local for a stiff drink | 14 |
then home, to the kitchen, | 15 |
poke my head in the oven ... | 16 |
| |
| |
One day I will be fifty-one | 17 |
The top of my head will bounce the sun. | 18 |
But today I am lonely, twenty-young, | 19 |
and the cake I baked, was perfect. | 20 |
