This is clever way to go about writing a short piece. but I feel you belittle yourself for making money. You wrote "That is kind of like art." Of course it is art. If you feel there is one kind of art above another that might be where your problem lies. You are not writing for yourself, but to please certain groups. The next three paragraphs are well written and humorous. The description are detailed with "sharp set of vicious canines clamp down on my leg. Ouch!" It's real yet entertaining. Y...

Very well put. The nature and human aspect are so clearly shown. The living in most any form have a basic nature. You just have to look to see it. The first and second line what men do. The third what women pretend to do.

The fourth stanza "waiting for release" does not follow the rhythm of the others. Might be short on syllables. "devour (sp) white birds and grow in the breeze" - I am not sure here. The word "and" could be dropped and make grow "growing." I am not good at critiquing. I do know I like the way this sounds, what it says and how you say it.

Thank you. I like getting credits with minimal effort. You also don't care to spend credits unnecessarily. I have not read "Frugal Bastard" I would think it offers more of an insight to this poem.

There is nothing wrong with self promoting your writing. You do it with good clean humor. I thought this was one of the funniest ways I have seen the name FRUGAL BASTARD show up.

So very true. You might as well be dead. Because it's the working to pay for any of it that's going to kill you. I like the way this is written. I would dope the comma. Great quote.

I have heard of the lights . I never have seen pictures. You describe it with a lot of color. Makes me feel cold inside. And at the same time gives me a warm feeling from the lights of fire.

I have not read any of William Blake’s work, but if this is any indication of his type of writing and style I will be looking his writing up. The is a great story and the meaning behind it is funny, sad and true all at the same time. The rhythm is solid all the way though. Great job.

This is a very informative article. Although you only give us a small sample, while putting a subtle plug in for another site. This reads professional with good references to history and the classifying of Marijuana. I have heard stories and rumors involving pharmaceuticals companies and there greed to control a cash crop. I have never read anything in print. There never seems to be any paper trail of these stories just innuendos. We know why Marijuana will not be legalized the government a l...

This is poetic and wordy. I see it more as a poem then a quote. What you are saying opens the mind and I feel that is a very good thing. As a quote it would fit well with the upper echelon of so called experts. That's not a put down just an observation.
