I have to admit that I’ve lost interest in Urbis. The credits system just wasn’t working for me. But I’d love to stay in touch via Myspace.

The later is my Myspace Books page. I am looking to network with writers for a series of Book Arts projects. I have an ongoing list of projects and CFS on that page. Please check it out and contact me if you’re interested.

A brief history of evolution (This is a poem that has to be touched to be understood.) We divide like spindle fibers in meiosis. Poets.

I love this meta-poem. I feel the oncoming of an Urbis-community inspired book with this poem, and someone else has written 'the Ballad of Deleted_User', etc. What is it that drives poets to write about things that only other poets would care to read? Is it the "write what you know" stigma?
I really like this peice, partially because I had a similar experience. Still, I like the matter-of-fact way you presented an idea that many readers will balk at. You handled the dialogue and description very well.
this poem is OK., but nothing stood out to be as breathtaking. You might want to think about punching up the imagery throughout. I like what you are saying a lot, but I'd love to see you say it with more effect.
