I am actually kind of sorry

that I gave this poem a 3 (50%) rating, because that makes it seem (given the inflated ratings system we have here) like I didn't like it.<p>

Actually, I did like it, a bit. It shows care in composition, which is important to me. The problem is that it doesn't <i>say</i> anything. Not really. It mostly piles up a lot of adjectives in an attempt to build an image.<p>

Poems don't work that way. There are no concrete, specific images in this poem. None.<p>

But I can see that you care about language and have talent manipulating it. You are one of the ones who can do it.<p>

God. Sorry, I know I can be a jerk.
