I do like to write, but I don’t like being redundant… you can read all about me at: http://www.facebook.com/jfriend3. And if I’ve reviewed any of your work please use my comments as constructive criticism, I only review writing I already enjoy.
Oh, if you review my work, don’t be a jackass and copy-and-paste half the piece back into the review. I’ll call you on it.

"Oh, wait... no... that's not that band. This is the band that perpetually keeps their tour bus filled with 3-feet of popcorn and always has about 10 live ferrets running around. It's disconcerting to see frenetic explosions of popcorn bounding in all directions, even more so when it's coming in your direction; one tends to pause for a second." "I hate ferrets." "So do I." "Then what about the other band?" "Well I'm hesitant to ruin the surprise, b...

"Use your words...” he repeated, emphasizing each syllable "U-s-e y-o-u-r w-o-r-d-s." As he stood there on the fake rubber asphalt stuff of the playground gripping the flailing child’s two wrists. A micrometeorite piffed down through the air, sizzled like bacon diving from the sky, entered through the top of his head, and tunneled in a complete straight line down and out from his pelvic brim. Funny, I always thought they streak in...

The Giant Squid One - Why Do We Love It was the longest day of summer the day I brought the giant squid home to live with us; and Kara and Jean and Becky , who all lived in the attic and made an internet serial about girls in boy shorts or something enough so that they were able to pay the rent, came down for breakfast and all made the puss-face with the wrinkled nose while, stating sequentially (something they did with a frequent and eerily lugubrious pentameter) in the order they were alig...

Here is what I hate - You seem to be blessed with a good heart. When someone walks by wearing your perfume, it takes me to you. I know nothing about you. Here is what I love - You seem to be full of bad ideas. When you walk by wearing your perfume, I die for you. I know nothing about you.

Excellent work - the first half is all sharp "s" and words that place emphasis on the last syllables... the second all soft, bouncy "l" and alliteration; the poem builds to a peak then pushes you over and brings you down softly... I really enjoyed this.

Good imagery all around - I really enjoyed the fourth stanza, but not necessarily the first line of the fourth stanza... don't artists stay in bed all day anyway? (o; That was a joke; in seriousness though the entire poem has a loose focus on all of the objects keeping them at the concept level - 'birds', 'stars', 'people', ARTISTS, 'people' - where "the king" is the only other object defined down to that level of identification... he is 'the king', he's dead, but still 'the king'... so I thi...

I'm not sure how to use the number system listed above under criteria/rating, so I don't want to make a mistake... is 10 the best one? Is 1? I'd rather have ten $100 bills than 1, but who knows? In any case, I love the pentameter of this piece - I read it aloud to myself several times before I got how I think it should sound, it tripped me up at first but then I used your voice and that is when it jelled. It moves like a pigeon, almost directly at ones head then a sharp angle off - at least I...
Haiku is funny Especially if about The hicks and their toys
