Comment Poetry

The Agents of D.O.U.X. not only read every comment posted on the site, we track the "Recent Comments" right-hand sidebar, which only gives the first 1-3 words of the comment to avoid spoilage. When we’re lucky, the result is “comment poetry”: short free-form verses that sometimes make a strange sort of e.e. cummings sense.

Below are all the comment poems we’ve discovered so far. If you find a good one, let us know in the comments!

"Untitled," by ChrisB

"The Cannibal," by Billie Doux

  39. Okay, it's not Doux Reviews comment poetry, but this was in a N.Y. Times digest that I get in my email.

    P.S. A hidden haiku from a Times story about Beaujolais wine: “It’s rich, ripe and well / focused, with stony, earthy / raspberry flavors.”

    As soon as I read it, I thought of comment poetry.

  40. (After accidentally posting this comment to the wrong thread, am re-posting it here, where I'd intended to in the first place. With apologies for my error, and for double-posting by way of correction.)

    Hello.

    I've only recently discovered this site and all its reviews and sundry content.

    It's a big site, with LOTS of material, as I'm sure you all are aware. And just today, I clicked onto this thread for the first time.

    I hope there's enough wiggle room regarding the rules to submit for your consideration the following Episode & Entry Titles Poetry, Shiny and New Sidebar Edition.
