She blue-lit her bedroom
to banish the shadows
that skittered in silence
and skirted the light.
I carelessly covered
her calming protection,
she paled in performance
and perished in night.
My languidly leaving
the light I desired,
my daring the doorway
to damn me to fail
had left her there lying
forlornly and crying
and callow, and creaking,
increasingly pale.
I know it's short, but well, whatever.

This is one of many reasons I re-wrote their gay-to-begin-with post. I don't care if you hate me. Your entry was damn near perfect.
=============================
Thanks, man. I don't hate you, you know, I just don't think it's necessary to add to the hate club of Shlongy. You did do a better job of it than most, I will admit.

I agree with some of the reviews, that this looks and reads better with the corrected formatting.
Your meter was spot on, and you made great choices.
I read this out loud and it was even better.
Short, yes, but satisfying.

Short is fine, but in this case it seemed rushed. I would have liked to read more, but it doesn't really seem incomplete to me, either.

This is how it would look in standard form. Short? Yes.
Bad? No. It has rhythm, meter, and uses the word skittered.
She blue-lit her bedroom to banish the shadows
that skittered in silence and skirted the light
I carelessly covered her calming protection,
she paled in performance and perished in night.
My languidly leaving the light I desired,
my daring the doorway to damn me to fail
had left her there lying forlornly and crying
and callow, and creaking, increasingly pale.

I read it like this and it sounds much better when I read it now. +1

It didn't seem like you put much feeling into this. Reads kinda jerky and the language seems strange.
I'd give this a +1 on pulse.

The first poem in FUPA, that i know of, to purposefully use alliteration. And, not in a cheesy way either. Well done.

Crap competition.

Sphagnum, an honest question: If you hate poetry so much and think
the contest is crap, why did you enter? No, really...

Ghola, the tone of your comments on most of these indicates
you haven't read much poetry. :)

This is good. It flows well, it's sort of surrealistic, I like it. It's weird but doesn't go streaking pell-mell into 'incomprehensible'.
My only complaint is I'd like it to be longer and explain more of what's going on. I finished it and thought "Yes? And then what happened?" But if you want to leave it short, it's up to you.
