 blackanarchy 2004-01-26 . chapter 1This is a sweet little thing, isn't it? I like it, it has a really nice ring to it and it does mean something. Lols. I don't know what I'm saying, I hardly ever review poetry. ^-^" But it's really good anyhows. |
 Kirney Slate 2003-08-17 . chapter 1Very nice. Normally I tend to shy away from reading rhymed poetry, often I think it makes the poem unduly awkward. But here you avoided making anything uncomfortable, which is often a feat all of it's own. I'm very impressed my rhyming poetry, well it's not good. Anyway, there was only one line that I felf was a little contorted
"Half full or half empty of water the glass"
first off put a comma after "water" that will help a lot. Second consider rewording the whole thing, I'm, as I said above, rotten with rhyming, so hopefully you'll be able to fix that line up a little better.
My other comment is about the placement of the lines within their stanza's. If it were me I would put them in clups together. For instince in the first stanza you could group "solo" and "lonely" together and that might enhance that perticular image. Just a thought.
Very well executed. I really enjoyed the last verse, "half mangled; half marred" That was very nice.
