Author's Note

This gets a bit confusing at the end, but it is simply following the progression of the poem. :)

Neat. I like it!

[Chris Smith Welshpoetcs]

This is good, excellently thought out.

This is awesome... i simply love the way the drips become increasingly more distracting as they interrupt the train of thoughts - until they cause 'a complete lack of cohension' and the sheer number of them drowns out everything else. Well-crafted and very effective.

OMG,this is a perfect piece of art.
I love how you wrote(Drip) in every(Drip)
verse.(Drip)
Nicely Done!

[Skoo.]

I really like this :D
You're good at messing with the layout of a poem so that even the structure matches the meaning. (:
Also, it reminds me of 10:15 Saturday Night by The Cure (they're an English band that got big in the 80s, I'm not sure if you'll know of them) d:
Even without the layout and the drips, this is an awesome poem. And you know more words than a dictionary.
It's immense. (:

This is amazing, I love the way it's structured, can't really read it at the end, but as you said it's simply flowing the progression of the poem, good write :)
