Black Ladybug 2005-11-18 ch 3,	abuseHey, betcha don't remember me. Schizo... yup yup.. been a while.. thought I'd drop by and say hi and whatnot. still love your writing.
CoolBeans18s 2004-06-02 ch 4,	abuseAMAZING! I'd have to say that this is my favorite of all the pieces in this anthology - its so BRILLIANT! This really means something to me, the emotions of this really connect to the reader. I especially love such lines as 'Farewell my love who loves me not' (See, its grabbed me in from the very beginning!) Again, WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL! ~ CoolBeans18s
CoolBeans18s 2004-06-02 ch 3,	abuseYou've covered a great topic in this piece. It seems to be a little more structured than the others, but your work is as marvelous as ever! Rock on, girl ^_~ ~ CoolBeans18s
CoolBeans18s 2004-06-02 ch 2,	abuseI just love how you use format to your advangtage! This piece has that great wistful, despairing feel to it, it pours out so many emotions... Very well done! ~ CoolBeans18s
CoolBeans18s 2004-06-02 ch 1,	abuseI really liked the formatting of this piece - it adds so much depth to your already meaningful words! I love it! ~ CoolBeans18s
godawful teen-angst poetry 2003-10-02 ch 2,	abuseThis has such a wistful, despairing feel to it...the format was unique and added to the overall efect greatly. Your poetry seems so--I don't know--heartfelt? Genuine? Good?
godawful teen-angst poetry 2003-10-02 ch 1,	abuseAh, this is so great...the format totally captures the feeling of loss, denial, questioning, heartbreak. I don't think I've ever seen questins and elipses used so effectively in poetry before. And the last four lines were just...great. I love the wordplay, and the placement was brilliant. I'll have to read more of this anthology. ~lyv p.s. thank you so much for your review! totally made my day :)
Lady B.V Rose 2003-10-02 ch 4,	abuseLove is too complex...;-; these were so beautiful and true...^_^ BTW Thank you SO much for being able to translate the title of my anthology! Hugs I'm hopeless at Latin... - BVR xx
FiberglassButterfly 2003-09-26 ch 4,	abuseGreat collection! ;o) They are all great, and I can really relate to them. Beautiful job!
Renae Maia 2003-09-24 ch 2,	abuseoh GOD i LOVE this poem. It takes you from one emotion to the next, the pathway of the complicated, longing heart. "Fearing that you have no soul" depicts exactly what its like when you just don't know fact from fiction, love from apathy. And the rhythm of it just compliments the subject matter so nicely. This is a beautiful, yet simple piece of work. Thanks for the review!
Alaghom.Naom.Tzentel 2003-08-03 ch 4,	abuseThat's so sad...that first line really pulled me in. "Farewell my love who loves me not," and suddenly we know what the situation is, what's happening and why, and I for one felt an instant pang of sympathy. Poor thing... Anyway all the poems in this collection were brilliant and beautiful. Great job. You are...amazing. Camila.
Alaghom.Naom.Tzentel 2003-08-03 ch 3,	abuseI don't like this one quite as much as the others - but then again, I love all of your work so... It's probably just because the stanzas give it a more structured feel, which I am unfairly biased against. It's very beautiful, and what it says is so so true. The second to last stanza is my favorite - "Should the sweet, mystic world/Of my love's musings end/By the subtle escaping/Of truth's sigh" wow. Yet again... Camila
Alaghom.Naom.Tzentel 2003-08-03 ch 2,	abuseThis one was the favorite out of these four. It flowed, had a rhythm perfectly matching the words/subject/message, and the words that stood alone had such power. "hoping/you are more than lies" "thinking/only takes me nowhere/deeper/down a cold black hole" "my heart so fragile" It's tough for me to pick favorite lines here, but there you go. Gorgeous. Camila
Alaghom.Naom.Tzentel 2003-08-03 ch 1,	abuseI was thinking, oh, nice poem, yes yes very true...and then I read the last three lines. Hit me like a sledgehammer, somehow. Only six words and some ellipses, but...wow. Camila
shiniwa 2003-07-05 ch 4,	abuseThe beginning two lines remind me a lot of Pink Floyd. Goodbye Blue Sky or Goodbye Cruel World, I'm not sure. But, anyway, I still like them. The contradictions are powerful "I gave you item A/You disliked item A/I gave you item B/you disliked item B/ect". By the way, with that example above, I don't mean to minimize the deepness and personalness of each line. I especially love the direction the poem takes in line 8. Using and abusing. So perfect. But, better than all of it, is the implied suicide of the last three lines. I found it incredible. One last thing. If you read this, please tell me. How true is it?
