All Comments on 'Buy This Poem?'

That was fun! Good Job.

A piece of jade in a dull gray quarry.

I appreciate the very kind comments and support. While I love this site for my own personal enjoyment, I wasn’t too sure how my poems would work on the site. I am quite encouraged by the feedback, and have begun to delve into the abundance of quality and arousing poetry that is here (and keeps coming in daily.) Cheers all!

First and foremost, the pseudonym is great. That in itself sets up tone to me. The poem is absurd in the best way. Selling or being recognized for poetry is for the elite, not men like Prufrock. But the poem conveys an element of awareness and knowing. I love the evidence of forced emotional distance in the work. To capitalize on words is every writer's ultimate goal. This makes the poem tongue-in-cheek but with a center layer of intellegence and like Eliot, a poetic knowing, the ability to provoke thought, and a bit of poking fun at the audience. Well done.

I would totally buy it.
