F minus

We are, by no means;
Dazzling, or that flawless strong thing,
Of which our diamond-shine species;
Could and thus should,
Long to be.
Yet so it would seem;
Our full-frontal ugliness,
And overt stupidity;
A swine-like satisfaction,
Guaranteed.
 
We are falling short,
Off point;
Achieving the lustre of waste.
 
We are humans being;
A hinderance,
To beauty;
To Grace.

Nice! Love the style/word choice and the attitude!!!

Hey bro! Your stamp of approval is always such a boost for me, thank you brother. Glad to know you like it! :)

peeling the skin off in layers
can be a bit tedious
with small sips of honey
one can accomidate it's means

tedium a forte
and the rifling
of neverending folds
can make one crave
in fact need
any sustenance
whether it is offered
and taken graciously
or the one offering
taken by force

You have pulled no punches here. Interesting work. Debra~

Thanks Debra :)

Hello sorry to put a message here but I am trying to find my way around the site. And somehow I keep ending up on the Spanish side which I cannot speak. I will mark you as a favorite but not sure where to find you after I do it. Can you enlighten me any? Thank you if so..

I'm pretty sure you got my message a bit back, did you?.. Anyway, there is no need to apologize for messages left anywhere as far as I'm concerened... You probably have it worked out now, but on the top right of your home page is an option for english or spanish. Also, as you go to post a new piece there is an option to "add translation" before you save your poem, I don't know if that's giving you trouble becuase I've never used it.
The private messages only allow so many characters per M, total drag.
One more thing to know in case you haven't figured it out already, Disqusand Poeticous are actually two seperate sites. Each of them have their own profiles and followers etc..... Hope this helps! :)

You certainly have your own style...definitely your own voice....I like it a lot its confident of itself seems to know exactly where its going,...deliberate and raw poetry are my favorite and what i try most to have or accomplish in mine...well actually when its your voice it just is ..you dont try to accomplish it..style maybe but voice is natural...I've never been great at writing poetry on beauty or positive things not beauty in a classical sense at least...what i find beautiful and fascinating isn't always what others find...anyways love all your stuff... This is my comment for all the comments I would leave on your poetry ..now if i comment they can be short ones...
