Peachy! A great title & story & torpedo. . . . --mj 01/11 |
Listen to me for a second. Giving up a priceless secret like this should be good. Rewrite it to Penthouse, and you might have an audience. --MG 04/28 |
I found my mom's vibrator when I was a kid and didn't know what in the hell it was either. I was thrilled to see a poem about this experience here on Nerve, along with all the sexy stuff. Great images; I could see and feel the scene the poem created. And as far as poetry goes, the language is great. I was entertained, which poetry doesn't do all the time. So, okay, it is "cute." But it's a kid persona. Can you think of any other kid poems about discovering erotica? I was turned on to this poem from a link on adultbackwash.com, who gave it a silver choice rating. So I think a.b. is in the minority here. You should know this, Carissa, and know that we want more of your poems . (my personal favorite was Hot Lunch though.)

I felt it was rather amateur compared to poetry that has been published in the past. It seems to rely on knee-jerk reactions the reader would have to certain images. The juxtaposition between the non-sexual child and the sexual object seems to cutesy to really make me think this is a well-written poem, and more an attempt at dumbing poetry for the masses. Sorry. --a.b. 04/03 |
where can I buy this great poem?! Is it in a book? --NYC 03/26 |
Fucking hilarious, and totally original...Mass props to you --MSA 03/26 |
Maybe I read a differnt poem than some of the other readers. I didn't see anything sexual between the author and a vibrator. No shame, no embarassment. It was just a much loved toy (in a non-sexual way). I could visualize the author playing with it, not even knowing what it was, thus making up all kinds of uses for it. Mixing the chocolate milk was hilarious.
I enjoyed it a lot. --DA 03/23 |
great poem! --ded 03/22 |
I DUG THIS POEM DEEPLY. GOOD IMAGES AND VERY FRESH. I PICTURED THE SPEAKER IN THE STORY. NEED MORE POEMS LIKE THIS IN CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN LITERATURE. WANT TO READ MORE. GREAT POEM, CARISSA. I KNOW YOU FROM TALLAHASSEE AND FSU.

Not sure if I want top admit it, but that was quite cool…”aimless torpedo”…nice word picture --:) 03/20 |
no, that last commentator was an idiot. if anybody's listening, go out and read some real poems, like _Pity The Bathtub Its Forced Embrace of The Human Form_ by Mattea Harvey. now that girl rocks! --ls 03/20 |
that last commentator is an idiot. i liked the poem, even if it's a bit middle schoolish. good one. --grw 03/20 |
this is pathetic. go finder a vibrator instead of writing about one. what does this poem do that a vibrator doesn't. thanks! --fki 03/20 |
This made me feel better.
Thank you, you are beautiful and strong. -- 03/20 |
This is a beautiful peice about a young girls discovery of just how GOOD IT FEELS!!!!
I love it! -- 03/20 |
This reminds me of all the times my brothers and mother would walk in on me masterbating. I am very lucky I turned into a pro-sexual adult.
ps- no i was never molested, just mercilessly teased! --kl 03/20 |
This is an absolutly awesome peice.
A young girl, guilt, pleasure, and shame....but that extreem longing to continue which leads you to be an extreemly sexual adult.
I love it.
