Title article: May and December

I agree with the fairy tale comment, I think its because of the happy ending and the way you always refer to them as her & him. 
 
I think that the wording is nice, but there doesn't seem to be any kind of rhythm with this. Also, I really think you could guide the rhythm a little easier if you used punctuation.

Title article: A Toothy Tale
Date: 2008-08-29 12:58:46

I thought this was a very intelligent and clever story. You speak of them almost like they are people you know of and observe from afar. I also like how you ended the story so ambiguous, and the description of each person in regards to their relationship was very real & recognizable. And I loved this line: 
 
"There's nothing wrong with the tooth," she observed, "you're merely after my blood." 
 
Very smart & attention-grabbing.

Title article: Hoping The Sun Doesn't Rise
Date: 2008-08-29 12:46:58

This is interesting, because originally I thought I was reading from a guy's perspective. The language you use is very vivid.  
I thought a few lines could have words removed, to make it flow better: 
All that time I spent with you was in vain 
Even now you're a slut, you still haven't changed 
 
Still playing the same tiring games 
Selling your broken-in body to ease your fake pain 
 
I'm wondering if the sex makes you feel like you're safe 
Where daddy is there, healing the cuts that you make 
 
But I guess it's too late, we all lose our ways 
Forever you will be fucked again in your cage 
 
But you aren't even the problem anymore 
It's all this hurt that has washed ashore 
 
I don't know what to do with all the torment I hold 
I always receive nothing, but do what I'm told 
 
And is this as good as it gets, 
Living this life with so many regrets? 
 
Also reading through, the stanzas don't seem connected. Like the ocean reference "washed ashore" comes out of nowhere and is never mentioned again.

Title article: Passion
Date: 2008-08-13 08:05:10

I thought this was pretty good, I thought it was going to be all romance and lovey but then there came the orgasms! :) 
 
My favorite part is when the guy is describing her, how he fell in love with her. It felt very real and sweet. The only thing I thought was a little awkward... 
"She had the kind of emotions that made you want to spank her and hold her tight all in the same breath." 
 
Spank her? Like in a sexual way or as punishment or as what? I don't understand how someone's emotions can make you want to spank her...maybe you mean slap her?

Title article: bottled UP
Date: 2008-08-13 07:56:22

This has good rhymes and an interesting format. If you really wanted to play with it, I would love to see something drawn up/with illustration around the words. 
 
The first lines were good (what drew me in), but I liked this part best: 
 
" I needed to  
b r e a K D O W N and cry, 
Because a part of me 
felt like I would die. 
I kept it 
bottled up  
for too long, 
Thinking to myself 
That I was STRONG. "

Title article: image
Date: 2008-08-08 12:15:39

okay. 
 
i don't usually like to explain my stories because a good writer shouldn't have to explain, it should just be there. 
 
but i was trying to explore the role that self image has in someone's life. the conversation isn't all that important, its just 2 girls trying to prove how original they can be.  
one tries to be the prettiest, most colorful one (to the point of ridiculous) in order to be "different." the other omits color from her self completely, also becoming noticeable. 
 
its about becoming that image so whole heartedly that you forget what is you and what is the image you want people to see. 
 
so i guess i want to know..how could i better portray this?

Title article: BUCK TEETH TWIN BROTHERS
Date: 2008-08-06 15:20:07

This could be very entertaining - the set up was promising but as soon as I saw "They considered the teeth their sheath," it went downhill. 
 
Rhyming every line in a stanza is hard and I think this would work better without that. Plus, the middle stanza is random and doesn't follow the same layout as the other two.  
 
Also, this makes no sense. They broke their teeth and then buried them? And why is the cute girl Elizabeth asking what lies beneath? This needs a more thought out story.

Title article: An Attempt to Understand
Date: 2008-08-06 14:52:17

This was good - read very well as a breakup song, very bitter, very sad. My favorite lines are:  
"Your legs spread like cancer, 
The boys love your disease, 
Are you unaware of how it's been killing me?" 
 
The whole thing works very well together.

Title article: Environmentally Friendly.
Date: 2008-08-05 15:16:11

I liked this. Some of the wording felt a little odd, but I'm a smoker myself who is completely ticked off at the treatment of smokers. If america is a free country then give me my menthol cigarettes and leave me the fuck alone!! :) 
 
However, like I said some of the wording was...strange. 
 
"If he'd talked to a black that way, he would find himself done." 
 
Is this saying that blacks are more defensive of their habit? They're tougher? I don't understand. 
 
"I go down to the front door to say hello to folk." 
 
I know you're trying to rhyme, but it should be folks...maybe you could say 
 
"I go down to the front door, pass the machine of Coke."  
 
haha...on second thought, don't say that.

Title article: Butterflys Are Beautiful
Date: 2008-08-05 14:56:44

This was written extremely well. The story was interesting and flowed well; the relationships between characters were explained well. 
The only thing that I sort of tripped over was the part in the middle when he leaves the office and it cuts to him going into the office again. Maybe you could include a little thing at the beginning of the second half with him waiting/his thoughts. It would allow you to divulge more plot and would set it up without confusing anyone...like me! :)
