hi Librarian
These are very nice first offerings to the Poetry Community 
I especially am enamoured of your haiku piece. The subtle nuances of compare and contrast in the 'ook ook' in line two with the final ook of line three balance the strident ooks of line one. It brought a tear to my eye 
. . ..thank you!

I hate to interrupt this lovefest, but I feel I should point out a few home truths here, as an honest critic.
The use of hyperbole in the first piece is simply over the top, and not up to the AWW's awesome standards.
And, frankly speaking, I find some of the language offensive.

well... it hasn't been yikesed yet... here's hoping The Librarian can fix it before it is... i can't fault him for not knowing... after all, he's only simian.
which specific language offends you dmitrigheorghni?

Specifically, 'Ooooooooo ooooooooK'. (I beg your pardon for repeating it.)
Do you know what that phrase MEANS on some of the less relaxed planets?

i understand The Libarian (sometimes) and i think he is wondering if it is just a spelling misunderstanding or perhaps just the syntax?

I'm glad you understand The Librarian. An honest misunderstanding on dmt's part

fluffykerfuffle Posted Jul 30, 2007
nono it wasn't a misunderstanding on dmitrigeoghe...etc 's part... the faux pas is real! and it needs to be fixed! just... well... The Librarian doesn't know how... if its spelling, syntax... he needs some input here.
i can't help... i can barely speak american let alone english or ookery or romanian...
i'm just one woman...
