It wasn't necessarily the obscenity that I found offensive. But rather, the bad writing. The preface is full of spelling and grammatical errors. What poetry I did manage to get through, and beyond the obscene imagery, was pretty basic and boring.
What I find most interesting is that the publisher, GAMAHUCHER PRESS, claims to be an independent press for writers. However the only author in their catalog is Colin Leslie Dean. So, my guess is that a vanity press was the only way this author could get his poetry published.

I'm just going to assume that this is a joke... for a start, you don't seem to have heard of the spell-check function.
But if you really want a serious critique... your poetry is fairly dull and reads like you have taken Byron and changed the words so it's obscene. If I were you, I would try something more original. Sorry.

The fact that you had to pay to get it published should be enough of a critique, don't you think. Your time might better be spent in a remedial English class.
Look what I just found regarding your alternate identity:

Wonder how long before you get kicked off here?
Byron, ANN, Pam69ur... it must be quite crowded in your head.
