All Comments on 'Romeo + Juliet'

Definitely the kind of poem to read more than once. I had many interesting images with this one.

I just thought I'd ask on Katie's behalf. :D

Well anyway I gave it a five because--in keeping with the spirit of your poem--it's bloody brilliant. xxxxoooo

Oh and I love this:

They were the ones pasting colour across spirals of skin

with the serenity of time, enveloped in words, in worlds.

It's very prosey but poetic in the best sense. I think your poetry is evolving this way, and it's really good.

the last two lines cracked me up, you sly thing you. ;)

your poetry leaves me reeling with sharp images but hazy understanding. Hopefully I'll be able to pierce the fog one day and enjoy the fullness of your meaning. You are a mistress of intrigue.

you pulled me into this place, this time, a beautiful voyage, through words, into your spectacular mind :)

I love the way that ( phrase) felt on my tongue, the whole poem, in fact, lovely work Lauren

So many lovely lines. I particularly like -

"They were the ones pasting colour across spirals of skin

with the serenity of time, enveloped in words, in worlds.

They were the ones collecting coins of numerous

hues and countries, selling their bodies to extinction."

Should get ten - five has to do, rules say so. :-(

From a review below:

The poems aren't understood but still praised??????????

Isn't that a little odd? Are people frightened to say it's rubbish?

As a poet, you should know it takes more than a collection of words to make a good poem.
