Hm. The footnote is great. I don't know about this one, I think I need to give it some time and re-read. But you've got me thinking, that's great.
— allie
I agree, it's one that makes you think. Highly interesting, this. Good job.
— Moose
This is good, but it is so gross. Well written though
— heatherS
Great poem. Sure anyone can relate to it in one way or another. Vivid.
— mondos
semaj?
— unknown
if someone went and posted anonymously, it's sort of rude to ask.
although, i wondered that a moment too.
— jade
no- it's me, the author. i just wondered what samej thought.
— gnormal
I dont know, this might be a little much for me to say i like it.
I
— wolfie
well it's ironic, I can say that.
and I don't usually mind rather risky poetry (i.e. sharon olds)
but somehow, yes, this was a bit much for me.
— Ananke
--- rewritten here ---
— gnormal
that is amazing.
god-fucking-amazing.
wow. the repetition really really reallly makes this thing just so cerebral, in a way, which I think is great, because it just says something about the character... I can't even really go on because I don't know what to write. wow.
— semaj
and i want to say the antithesis of everything semaj just said.
maybe not the exact antithesis, but i definately liked the other version better. the repetition functions like nadsat in clockwork orange, but i think you need more faith than to have to cushion your readers from the blow. the blow is why it's so great, the point is there by mere shock value. i loved the first version of this. the second version seems like it's got too much fluff, just padded for the sake of it... i don't think it adds enough to it at all for what it takes away.
— jade
although i do like the first two lines how they are. it's a nice intro.
— jade
hm, I never saw the first version...
— semaj
Fucking gorgeous. I love the repetition.
— bellis
The repeated phrases and words make this one creepy, but in a good way. I loved reading this one. Definitely one of my favorites.
— 8Gj00
Ah, the egg on your face. Gross, indeed, but so so so amazingly written. I mean, I'm talking perfect here. Favorite ever. Amazing, the repetition, the double meanings, amazing, the poem, amazing. I never read the original (I wish I had) but this is just rigoddamndiculously good.
— unknown
gnorm! I should have known it was you, something this good on the site. As much as I love Pour & Mourn, this beats it out a thousand times over. Truly, as I said, one of my all time favorite poems. It would be number 1 if it wasn't so gross -- I think the grossness, to me, is more about an egg salad type of thing (hate the stuff, the image makes me want to puke in a picnic basket) than the egg that the speaker finds in the mirror. Maybe if it wasn't in the title it would be better. But I wouldn't change a thing about the poem. Nor the footnote. The footnote is as good as the poem.
— unknown
the grossness is why the poem matters. although egg salad is pretty disgusting.
perhaps repost the first so we can compare it?
— jade
honestly i rewrote it only to cushion the vulgarity
and at first felt cheap
having to spell out all the meanings.
but then it got fun.
and in the end, i thought the rep
added a layer
i liked.
this was the first version:
i was a fresh-
man, and
it was simple.
we handcuffed her
hands behind her back,
locked them both in the bathroom,
and told them they couldnt come out
until they slid her panties
under the door.
that was my idea.
the next year
i studied first person.
i lost a condom
in this theatre major
and didnt tell her.
it was funny as
hell at the time.
another morning
i woke up with a redhead,
silently alarmed,
unarmed her and slid out
of her room
without waking her
and ran all the way
to schmidt hall
pleased that i had made it in
time for my examination.
after lunch in thompson commons
i used the quiet basement toilet,
relieved. and wondered why
no one sat at my table.
not until i washed,
my hands in that sink,
looked up in the mirror,
the water running,
and i saw the dried blood
smeared around my mouth
did i think about the red-
head,
and the egg on my face.
— gnormal
thanks. i know why you did it, i just don't think it was neccesary. oh well, i'll stop driving the bandwagon around as i'm wasting gas for only me.
— jade
oh, I think this is much better now. I really like the repetition in the piece; it, for me, is what makes this piece into such a fabulous work.
— semaj
yeah. the repetition makes the piece, I think. the first version is good, but the current version is godlike
— unknown
I agree that the repetition really enhances the poem - it makes for a completely disturbing experience. You continue to impress me.
— unknown
I didn't like this one
— unknown
Thought this was stupid.
— unknown
The first one was really good too, because it still got the story across. But then the second one has those repetitions and that makes it so much stronger and so much more... hmmm, I dont really know the word, but it makes it stick. I said it before, but I might as well say it again.. this one is awesome and I love it.
— 8Gj00
wow, very interesting. I like this alot just because it sorta reminds me of an old Smashing Pumpkin's song where Billy repeats a couple of lines several times in the course of the song and continues on with the message. This is a really neat laid back style. Great job!
— Reformer
I think the repitition turns disgusting into disgusting art.
— Lossandra
sometimes the disgusting IS art...
— mousestmod
i liked the before better. the repitition just seems odd to me.
— abby
repetition always has a negative connotation to me, I don't know why. Personally I don't find this repetitious, or disgusting. I thought there was a lot of reiteration, but thats how people talk. It's interesting. It's good stuff.
— onklcrispy
very amusing. fun read
and the repetition isn't annoying (not like others)
good one :)
— ari
Very enjoyable
— unknown
I quite like this poem. The repartitions make it a different poem from the rest. I like the ending, good job.
— unknown
This is great. Repetition gets almost too frequent near the end...but by far the best use of "egg on my face" to mean completely the opposite of its cliche.
— flyfire
an entertaining read. i think the second version is better than the first; i really like the way repetition removes a level of objectivity. its as creative as anything i've ever read.
— root
i like eggs on my face too i ll give this a 7
— unknown
really liked it. different from things i've read before.
— Brandxxx
Do not like this poem at all. It uses gratuitous imagery to achieve exactly what effect?
— unknown
I don't know what it is but this one just rubs me the wrong way. Maybe there is something about it that I don't see, but I've read it daily for a week and still don't like it. 54-56 flow well though. I donno. Maybe a few more reads.
— tha_mink
Hmm... mysterious and good. What college?
— aforbing
hell yes. effective use of repetition. i think line 38 assumes we are morons and not getting what it heavily implied throughout quite successfully. i also think the very last line explains too much also....i like it better ending on 63 personally. I like this poem a lot.
— clodclod
This is a good one!
— boolove69
It's not really that great. No kids would apprciate it.
_unknown
— unknown
Actually, I think Boolove is a kid.... This really is friggin great. I'm agreeing with semaj about it. The repetition adds so much. I admit I stumbled over some of it, but that was a great part of the effect. Though the rhythm and rhyme are great, this would be better read then listened to. Also, it took me a while to get the title, but I had a long and hearty laugh when I did. Great poem.

the repetition is an important part of this poem and serves it well. this is bloody awesome good.
— space
nice job, most people don't have define style like your own, you own this poem absolutely.
— leelou
I dunno, I think the footnote kinda ruins it for me. If you can write that a poem this eloquent and organized, it's not necessary to point out that you're not really a sociopath, or at least not the sociopath who wrote the poem. I say nix the footnote and own it, mon frere.
— dweasel
I think that footnote meaning is that he is denying to himself that he really was like that kind of guy too like he deosnt want to remember it. You know what I mean?
— unknown
I took the footnote satirically.
— zepplin42
i figured he just didn't want us to think he was that kind of prick.
— jade
Yeah. Just a sort of nice aside. I like it there.

I think your very sick man damn what were you thinking to eat her in the dark it will make you think twice don't you think so sir. peaches
— unknown
that is crazy and stupid and SCARY!!!!!!!!!!! you must be really messed up in the head to write that!! asshole
— unknown
This is just fucked up
— unknown
uh huh and then what heppened? yah sure it was great! not
— unknown
The first version wasn't bad, but the repetition in the lines really makes it stand out.
wonderful work.
— unknown
lines 30-46 is wherer the repetition really gets interesting. because that's wherer it goes from being repetition of things that have already been said to a repetition that means something different. i love that in a poem. the rest of it the repetition makes it seem like the speaker is crying, or very confused, just saying things out in little fragments as they po into his head. it's good though. nice work.
— AEOS
thats fuckn sick
— unknown
It took me a while to get hold of the repetition but once I had it worked out I loved it. Very very dark. Why egg? Did I miss something? I don't quite get the ending (perhaps an american thing? or am I just saying that so I look less stupid...)

— Minx
when you have egg on your face, you've just done something terrible.
to "cite" a movie--after Christopher Walken shoots Dennis Hopper's character in the head ("True Romance"), he turns his back, takes out his hankie and says he's going to wipe the egg off his face. It's meant to mean not LITERAL egg, but the metaphorical wiping off of a sin or transgression. Hope this helps
— aforbing
wonderfully thank you, and I notice you're using your new word cite...
Well I like the poem even more now, how exciting, it got even better....
XxXx
— Minx
Wow, I really enjoyed this. The fact that it was disgusting is what grabbed a hold of me...I started to read it, and I got sucked in...
not until i washed, 54
in my stink, 55
my hands in the sink, 56
not until i looked 57
up at the mirror, 58
the water draining, 59
and i saw the dried blood 60
smeared all around my mouth 61
that part made my mouth drop...I let out this big "ugh!"
Very well written, I loved the repetition!

very stupid poem it is really messed up

Wordplay for the masses and masses of wordplay. A neat and brilliant trick.

I loved it. Especially the last three lines. It was very scary, and very thought provoking.
— arienette
Hmmmm! Im just not sure
— unknown
The line breaks were a wonderful contribution. Your ending comment made me smile. The nervousness and uneasiness of the writer was very clear. Its the adrenilen-sp? talking that makes my blood move as you touched her, eerily like I have been there before but ....with a man.

i love the way its written, with the repetition of words or sounds and contrasting the meanings. it made it more interesting and created an anticipation of what the next words would be.
— unknown
I have just read both versions, and I think this second one is better than the first. I love the repetition of words and phrases, it reminds me a lot of caryl churchill's writing. (I know she's a playwright, but if you have ever read any of her later work, you'll know what I mean)...
— thesilencing
maybe you need to have been to an american college to appreciate this - but i'm european

That's funny cos I'm english and I loved it
absolutely
maybe you are just not reading it right...

— silolater
you know I've been thinking about this poem and there are something things that annoy me. Mostly the repetition works very well and it hilarious and haunting at the same time but a few times - for me - they didn't. I may have just missed a point or not understood...
"it was funny as 27
it was funny 28
hell at the time. "
"out of heroomb 38
without waking her 39
without waking her bed "
"relieved and wondered 50
relieved. and wondered why 51
no one had sat at my table. 52
no one sat down. "
and I still don't like the egg on the face (I know it's a saying that I don't know but the egg bit throws me, though I guess if it's a saying you don't really think about the egg..)
anyway just wanted some feedback on those bits
XxXx

absolutley abulose ....... a lil bit of studdering but other then that i would give that a 10 or in school cases an A+, i am a journalist for a california newspaper and i think this is great , keep up your hard effort and good work , thank you for shareing your delightful poem with us , bye !!

If a poem has to shock me to get me to comment on it, it's not really worth a comment.
— ChrisTaylor
I HATE THIS TITLE! you need to change it! OMG
— unknown
Nice. I enjoyed the repetition and the different meanings in the lines.
— honestcrime
Why do so many people hate the title and expression "the egg on my face"? It has a double meaning; the metaphorical egg on his face, and the literal egg on his face, ie. the egg from the girl whose blood he had on his face. Think about it. It might be unpleasant, but it is clever and original.
— thesilencing
CHANGE THE TITTLE!!!
— unknown
I think this poem is ok.It needs some work because it can confuse the reader.
— unknown
change the tittle. that's good.
— gnormal
He he, gnormal. I love your scathing comments. Don't listen to anyone. Don;t change the title, or anything in the poem. It is amazing.
— thesilencing
The poem is interesting, not like anything i've read before. I am not sure whether I like it or not though.
— unknown
truly inpspring reflection. make me think
— natho_nt
just a touch juvenile for my taste
— wanderlust
marta, even a comment such as "CHANGE THE TITTLE!!!" is more useful than "dreadful. sorry." i dont know who you are, so i cannot be offended that you dont like it. no reason to be sorry. but i wish you might say what it is about it that you find dreadful, or poorly done. was there anything about it you liked? i dont like horror films. i think theyre dreadful. i never watch them. is it just that you dont like this kind of poem? i wrote another called My Lil Froggy. try that one if you have a moment.
— gnormal
It was sad to see this one dwindle down and out of the charts. Good to see it climbing back again! Yay for gnormal and the egg on his face!
— thesilencing
this poem is growing on me
— davidm
nice long poem
— normalgirl90
:) when i saw the title, i knew i was going to like it :-D
— picklypickle
I don't really kno what to day about this one.... I like it, but then again... I don't. I don't really get some of it though. You confuse the words. You mix them up an dI can't really understand what is going on.
— unknown
it uh sucks, your life is boring, please dont share
— unknown
This is so bad! I hate the tittle! I hate the poem.. sorry
— Want2BLoved
i like it better than the first time i read it.
it's fresh. interesting. creative. and the style of it- the repitition and all- adds a fantastic twist that definitely grows on you.
nice job.

Oh Man! This is so good I don't know where to begin.
I think all this poem needs is hands, mine applauding.
Your egg is an omelet, with every delicious topping there is.
Exceptional writing.

im sorry to ruin your day but i thik its sick.

today i am in the city of iloilo in the beautiful western viscayas. i had little dried fish, garlic rice, and a duck egg for breakfast. i only asked for one egg, but the guy cooked me two. "for allowance" he said. my laundry will be clean in 2 hours. in 3, i will fly north in a window seat. i will likely see volcanoes. i am happy as the clams i ate last night in a bamboo structure by the side of the clean river.
you have not ruined my day.

i love the double meaning of 'egg on my face' and all of the repitition. i read this when i came upon the site for the first time by accident, and i loved it then.
i wasn't sure who had written it, and i've been looking for it ever since.
i gave it another read or two, and it's still just as good as it was the first time.
the repitition makes this one even more amazing. it adds SO much.
i give it a ten, and it's on my list of favourites, definitely.
— shakeit
Sometimes just one word can ruin a poem. In this case, the attempt at "heroomb", it does not work for me. That word reads 'pretentious' to me.

Endless Journey
Weary myJourney is
a burning cry from within my soul
smoldering in these ashes
carrying me beneath its darkness
where shadows heed in stillness
beyond this realm of pain
bond by life bound in death
lift me up before thine rein
neverending night harken unto my cry
lay me now to rest from this endless
Journey.

this is good
it reminds me of Catcher in the Rye somehow
and that was a really good book
— mints
Okay, I know I might sound stupid for asking this, as it seems I'm one of the few ppl that don't get this, but what exactly does it mean? I love how it reads and all, but I just don't get it. What's the egg on the face mean? Where did the blood come from? I'm confused.

this has been posted before, is this just a second attempt at glory?
— unknown
The original isn't nearly as powerful, nor does it provoke a quarter the thought as the one posted now. The repetition and style are what make this a work of literary art. Very descriptive, but in this manor, it isn't offensive. Definitely worth the rewrite. Nice work.

omg, so dense at first i didn't get it, but then i thought i had it but then thought, no that can't be what he's talking about.... but then i read other ppl's comments and yah, i was rite the first time. haha its sick and funny and wonderful
— maytimestwo
Definetly keep the repetition. Brilliant! That doesn't mean the poem can't use some fine tuning. Work with stanza two some more. I don't see the purpose of repeating "it was funny" but maybe I'm missing something. I would arrange it something like:
the next year
i studied first person.
i lost a condom
in this theatre
me in this theatre major
major loser
i rub her, looser
lose her
and didnt tell her.
it was funny as
hell at the time
it was funny
something like that...just a suggestion
every other stanza worked perfectly
— Tabletopjoe
the repetition is amazing. you've heard this a lot, but it is seriously. amazing. this poem is beautiful. i didnt realize it upon 1st reading, but everything fits. the egg on my face... beautiful. thank you for writing this.

this is one of the best works on the site. i love it, and love the repetitions. in fact, if it only had the proper asterisks, i'd go ahead and put it on my favourites. i guess i'm one of those grammar nazis...

six, or 8-pointed?

most computer fonts have six-pointed asterisks. they look pretty good, however, how could one be sure which is the proper one. a good question.
i meant apostrophes.

dictionary.com isn't very enlightening, simply defining it as a star shaped figure or character.

Is this to mean you went down on her when she was menstruating? Did you not realize it or was it her first time or something (when it never happened)? This is kind of interesting how you make a baffled tone. I don't appreciate it much as a poem but as a story, it brings some contemplation. That's awful putting yourself out to be such a bad guy in the first stanza and then taking it back. Also combining it with a more positive sexual experience and goof up- I don't get the twistedness of that. There are people who have been forced playfully but criminally like your first stanza and it doesn't belong together with the rest as a made up thing. It seems ill and a little twisted. (C)

Once wrote a long critique of this and deleted it by mistake. Came up on random today.
It is really under-rated.
I still love it though. Original, clever, publishable. I think the repetition works so well.
This is just great .

Are you craving sex? I have no clue what was happening in some parts, and whats with the egg? Get a different style of writing poems, or dont write at all.

if you go down on a girl while she's on her period (or otherwise ingest that sort of blood) you will NEVER be able to fully love or want another.
for shame.

I think this is a wonderfully witty and ironic piece, with versatility that gives it different meaning, depending on the reader. Even though to some of you, the subject may not be most pleasant, you can't deny how well-written this is. Stop being immature and leaving worthless comments about how you hate this poem and how the author is sick, and please for the life of you and your children and your children's children, learn how to type properly. The "tittle" is just fine. Maybe you can leave some constructive criticisms and at least state a reason for disliking it. I L O V E IT.

Haha, I thought it was great. The last stanza is awesome. Good job.
— kaze
That was the best repitition I've ever heard... It actually worked... brings alot of character. Also an amazingly vivid and daring write... tis good, creative.

OMG! MORE WORSE SO MANY LINES FOR WHO?
— unknown
Amazing!

i like the revision better. personally and poetically, i like repetition. i think it enhances the rhythm in most cases, drives the point and helps the poem (depending on the poem) "chug" along like an engine. this poem has "destination" as well as "arrival" about it and once it arrives, you wanna go back and take the whole trip again. excellent! wanna see more of your stuff.
— starr
Fa-wowza.

I THOUGHT I posted a response to this poem yesterday, but my computer was jammed and I don't think my response made it in, so let me say this:
I LOVE this poem. It's like a train that builds up steam and it has a nice "chug" to it. It not only boasts a healthy departure, but it also boasts such an arrival that I wanna go back and take the whole trip again. A very deserving "10." Glad that I checked back to make sure I could contribute my compliments to the poet. Keep on! Good stuff!
— starr
I don't know if you know this, but you are my favourite poet on this site.

I never commented, but I've always always liked this one. The repetitious style that makes each thought bleed into the next really works. (no pun intended!)

It's sad that I know someone the last has happened to. -shudder-
The writing style is very creative, but flows like crap, and I'm not sure if I like it. It's linguistically choppy, but like I said, very creative and unique. For the work, (8).

L60-61...
been there done that,
except the type of blood you are alluding to
is not bright red and noticeable like other blood
because there are other fluids mixed in
i didn't know til the morning either,
found out from the pink hand print on the sheet...
