I'm trying to figure out the pov, but other than that it was pritty cool!

This is pretty good, and gramatically correct. The poem was very straight up, which made it even better. The cussing was a little too much, but hey, it's your poem and you can choose to say anything you want. Anyway, good job.

The cursing was spot on, it set the mood.

Thanks. STEEL, the POV? Well, if you really think about it, there is no POV. Why, because the guy is dead, all that happen, never exist. Confusing, huh, kinda like the Matrix. Smile

Its one of those things where I try to throw everyone off. Twisted Evil

As for the cussing, well, it just shows everyone is cool with cussing. But, if you read my other works, you can see that the cussing kind of gives me my style. My indentity, and a piece of my mind. Hah.

Thanks.

Very nice, Solidus.

Liked the presentation of this. Very unique, what with the inclusion of the paragraphs. Yet, it maintained its poeticness.

Good job, man.

Rock on.

Interesting. Spotted two very noticable grammar issues in there. The first was a double negative and can be written off as dialect of the speaker. The second was misuse of "their" where "they're" should have been. Tisk, tisk.

Good... narrative poem overall. Interesting format, but it worked out very nicely. Story behind it... Interesting. A good read, to be sure. A bit odd, but, then again, what by you isn't Wink

. The realization that the guy's dead wasn't focused on too much, but, for effect's sake, I suppose it was okay that way. The ending line, though... Interesting.

Overall, I liked it. A different sort of poem with a different sort of mood to it. Very nice. But I'm telling you... if you were to throw out some true narrative fiction... Keep up the good work, Solidus.

My bad MC, I missed that Embarassed

And I guess the double negative stuff makes a little sense.

Hey thanks, man.

I don't have any right to comment on poems, seeming as I never write any, but I liked the raw emotions in this one. Your flow was a little convoluted though, and there seems to be an excess of swearing....or maybe that's for atmosphere.

Lol, you call that excess? Its nothing compare some earlier work. Believe me, I have cut down on the swearing. Only using it to set the mood and all, and its the guy's personality too.

Thanks man.
