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:

Atkins 101
madderhatter

He's without now,
 1
scurrying through the lots.
 2
To look near his shoulder.
 3
To                 wish.
 4
To |craminaslot|
 5
Like long toes in short stilettos.
 6
She could never saturate.
 7
 
 
Soft like butter,
 8
to the bone.
 9
No crunch.
 10
A zesty void,
 11
or just a ball of sticky words.
 12
 
 
binding glues are putty in his
 13
clumsy hands.  Be careful,
 14
what you shape might be Absolut.
 15
 
 
Grind the sand in your teeth
 16
You’ve spoiled
 17
the alternative,
 18
all natural,
 19
baked (not fried) perfection
 20
of low fat loss.
