This thread was certainly worth reading. I enjoyed your poem (would make great rock lyrics) and GordOn made me laugh. Oh well, back to work. Keep writing nineteen.  Bye bye Gordon.

I think you got the rythm from this:
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork, and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg, and howlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
it's very common in spells.
Or perhaps you have some memory of Blake's Tyger, the classic heartbeat poem. I think it's not bad, but lacks an end. Could you wrap it up better? If it is really a first attempt at poetry I think all the writer's on the thread must admit it's not bad. Incidentally I am also an amatur and thanks to people here (especially danny boy) I have greatly improved three of my poems.

I thought this piece was strong in its simplicity. I also agree with Stranger, it would make an excellent stanza in a thrash/goth rock song.
I would say one thing about these forums; I've tended to find that those who dismiss a persons piece without saying why, don't actually have anything worthwhile to say. Keep up the good work.

in spite of all your nice comment i'd really like this poem to "die". everytime it looks like it's going to sink down to be forgotton, it creeps right back up. i hate this poem now.
