Constipated, my mind puckers its hemroided orifice dribbling out pebbley insubstantialities. Bloody words fall to the floor piling into an obscene heap. A retched stench fills my nostrils as I consume the excreted words, willing my body to encase them again. To reprocess them to a purer pile of shit.

retched --> wretched
The last sentence fragment seems odd at the end of full sentences. I'd suggest, "A wretched stench fills my nostrils as I consumed excreted words, willing my body to reprocess them into a purer pile of shit."

Line breaks could go a long way toward making this more poetic. For example:
Constipated, my mind puckers its hemroided orifice, dribbling out pebbley insubstantialities. Bloody words fall to the floor, piling into an obscene heap. A retched stench fills my nostrils as I consume the excreted words, willing my body to encase them again, to reprocess them to a purer pile of shit. By the way, nice use of consonance with all the Bs (dribbling, pebbly, insubstantialities). Another thought: beware adjectives. There's often a more elegant way to describe your image. For instance: Quote:Bloody words fall to the floor You could turn "bloody" into a gerund: "Words fall bleeding to the floor." Quote:A wretched stench A stench is by definition an awful smell. You could probably lose "wretched" entirely without diluting the meaning. This will help concentrate the poem down to the most important words.

I also think the lack of line breaks bodes well with the title. Leave it. If it sucks it wins.
I'll be there in a minute.

actually it's not to bad, the thing is it's too obviously not to bad, it uses an extended metaphor, it breaks all rules (almost) that a sucky poet probably wouldn't know of though it lacks cliche, repetition and bad rhymes
not bad, a clever write done just a little too right. welcome to the site ![]() (05-09-2013, 12:42 PM)Ehud Wrote: Constipated, my mind puckers its hemroided orifice dribbling out pebbley insubstantialities.

Just my personal reaction.

I personally liked the imagery, thought it could use a bit of tweaking but definitely appreciated the theme.
