Dante and Beatrice didn't have this, did they:
penis, tongue, and fingers piercing
clinging rings of muscle lips? I do,
I want to kill you
with it so you'll want it
always. Thus I hope
to compose concerning you
what has never been written
in rhyme of any woman.
You're sitting on the chair
and I fuck you there.
I fuck you in the mouth,
I fuck you in the ass.
I pull on my cock while I stare in your eyes.
"Ass" and "eyes" are a very good rhyme.

that poem sucked.
just because you use words like ass and penis and fuck does not make you any where near comparable with Dante.
He and Beatrice did not have that. you're right.
They had LOVE.
He went through hell and purgatory to find her only to have her scorn him.
wait, have you ever actually *read* the divine comedy?
never mind.
just... yeah, your poem was pretty lame.
and that thing with the rhyme? it's like saying at for the last line of a haiku, "this is a haiku." lame.
Is this the same Richard Hell, as in Richard Hell and the Voidoids? Geez, he's on Nerve, I remember him in the 1970's punk scene in NYC (I am showing my age here). One of the most unheralded punk rockers of his generation. A cut below Patti Smith and the Ramones, but still, he could be mentioned in the same breath as them. Can anyone confirm this for me?
Du-udes! Richard Hell RAWKS;}
yeah he's right, read the poem. that's a really nice print though, did you shoot it.
Perhaps "Dante" is in point of truth just a skank fuck-buddy from Hell's portfolio and not Aligheri at all.
That was mabey the WORST poem I ever read. YOU SUCK. :(
THAT SUCKED LITERALLY.
hiiiiiii sweeteeee
i like u....
pleaze write me back...
what in the hell is this shit? ok seriously, this is really passive aggressiveness to the Nth power.
For all those who said "this poem sucked' 1st of all you suck! This is a real poem. Its powerful, its honest and it says what's true(not to mention) in a sonnet form!What do you minor critics read anyways.."Rod McKeon?"
I admit to liking the coldness.
Now you say something
