Probably many people have said this, but I do so love the imagery of the teardrops becoming diamonds. Excellent poem.

love it...
your poems are so beautiful...they just...i dunno...flow, express emotions...nice job!

You capture the girl's emotions so well. I've always wanted to be a performer of some kind (although singing w/ a voice like mine is entirely out of the question) so I really, really enjoyed reading this!

Well, cherie, now TPP's gone and given away the game, I s'pose I can review.

You know I think you're brilliant. I love it when poetry works on lots of levels, and yours is always so chock-full-o-symbolism, which I adore. Simply beautiful, carissima.

*Who's NOT read about Ellara.
Error in previous review.

As you can tell, I was quite sleepy when I wrote that . . .*hits self*

This was positively GORGEOUS.

I doubt that anyone who's read about Ellara will understand it. *chuckles softly*

"Hear it now, Your twilight symphony
rising like the tide."

Was my favourite line. BEAUTIFUL.

*clap*

~Swinging from the chandeliers~

Wow. ::shivers:: Beautiful.

Possibly my favorite phrase is "amber verse." That or "string your tears on a chain/and clasp them for diamonds round your neck"

~Sayrah~
you should post poems more often:)

::pounces Christine::

Yay! Groovy poem, cherie. You should post up more--I liked this 'un! You can really get the feel of the tenseness before the curtain goes up.

::cheers for Erik, Christine, and general-goodness::

::hugs::

::shivers::

The waiting, the tension, the brewing storm; the fears, the tears, the frightened heartbeats and fatalistic terrors.

::gentle hug:: I very well remember that night. You always capture such things so perfectly.

Welcome to fictionpress, hope you hang around.

I enjoyed this, very descriptive and with a strong voice. Very dramatic which, considering the subject, is appropriate. Felt it could have done with a little tightening here and there, but still a wonderful read.

My favourite line was, "Watching now, my bright composers?/Waiting in the wings with roses"

Hm. Nice symbolism/metaphorical language. I can't say I understand what it's suppose to mean exactly, but I do love the imagery.
Great for the first poem on FictionPress.com!

Fantastic...wow! that was amazing...I like the line about stringing your tears for diamonds.
