Three poems from Andrew

The firsttwo are nice. I am bit sceptic about the last one. Its not very artsy, only brutal. Brutality doesnt go well in poems methinks. But I guess thats just me.

Heh, brutality is best in poems, ever seen a John Woo movie? The violence is damned artful, poetic. Any tone fits in a poem, it's just a matter of expressing the tone you desire.

Andrew, good work. I took a Creative Writing class, which was probably the best thing I could have done my Sophomore year. Anyhow, the teacher had told me when I took Creative Writing 2 (which was really just a "editing" position for the School's literary magazine, a position that made me realize how few good writers exist in Highschool) that she had wanted to 'give my name to a counselor'. Something about 'pent up anger'. *shakes head* Some people are just a bit on the dumb side.

Again, good work,

Hm, you're damn brave Freak to bring that to your school. The poems are great, particularly the last two. Reminds me of when I was in art class, and drew a picture of someone being shot in the head (which was quite good with a lot of detail IMO) repetitivly, and I had shown it to this kid and laughed. Apparently he was "severly threatened" by the drawing and told the prinicpal. She searched my backpack and found the drawing, and I got suspended for a day.
