Just A Little Bit Of History Repeating. by Stuart Eric Longridge (3)
"I can only be blunt, as that's my nature. This is not only poor poetry and poor writing - period. This, like most of your other contributions, clearly defines the author. Another idiot writing on this site." -- Richard.
"I can only be blunt and thats my nature.So to the shallow little person above i say ,your completely missing the point of the piece of work,there are too many self centred fools in the world who try to make people swallow their own pointless theorys and beliefs and moans,and i think most poetry is like this,i think this piece of work along with Stuarts others have a deeper more important meaning,and its not the poetry itself thats important its the information,So i would advise you yo read it again.I think he has a lot talent. " -- Jesica.

You Think Your Special by D Donely (3)
"a little bit of venom detected? you certainly painted a clear pic. make your, you're before special n lovely and pathetic(if you wish)" -- Just A Guy.
"*****Nah, no venom in this one. It's actually not based on anyone in particular. I was listening to a song (by Limp Bizkit) and this was triggered...so, I put it down on paper. My work hasn't been that great lately, i guess my creative "juices" just aren't flowing. And, i can't believe how many grammar mistakes I made in this one.." -- d donely.
"Title: Good. Despite what some other poetry experts may say, I don�t buy into the whole spiel about how one�s title should never appear in the text itself. If it works, then stick it in there. Text: Grammar and spelling errors: softy ***softly***, you think �your� (both title and text) ***you�re***, I think �your� ***you�re***. Misused words: �lighted dimension� ***what is that?***, pausing to descend ***this may be a misused word. It sounds as though you may have intended something else.*** Incorrect meter, it just doesn�t flow. Similar to walking a doggie, and having him sporadically jerk on the chain. No rhyme. It DOES however focus upon a subject, and leave the reader with a concrete subject. " -- JA St. George.

Stains by E Rocco Caldwell (2)

Liz by Roberto J Moreno (4)
"I liked this one. I take it you had a crush on the girl. The way you refer to her and the way you like her; however, she doesn't respond, or if she does she leave you out to dry. I like the fact that it seems like a confession but you are in doubt of your feelings for her. " -- Jacklyn.
"Nice poem. It paints an uncertainty phase. It seems like you like but her interest in not there. If it is she might lead on and them regrets it. It is true that some women do view poems as lame & when you do say too much the element of conquest is gone." -- John D..

"thanks, Ken. The virigin is innocence" -- e. rocco caldwell, Tacoma.
"Hi Rocco, a lot of people are put in homes because they have no choice due to their illness and old age. It is a crying shame to see people left there. A little love goes a long way. for l also looked after an 97 year old Alzetheimers person- despite her illness we had lots and lots of laughs together. Most old people are very hurt and rejected by the ones that loved them at one time. "staring back at the faded step" is their only hope. I loved your poem on this. The last line says it all- they are left there to die. " -- Amy, Hayes , UK.
