Infinity Plus One 8/1/04 . chapter 5Perhaps not a twist, but good haikus. |
Infinity Plus One 8/1/04 . chapter 4I am thinking that the last chapter will be a twist? So far, so good. I am visualising a darkened room with a scared child. |
Infinity Plus One 8/1/04 . chapter 3I can see more sinister things in this haiku. |
Infinity Plus One 8/1/04 . chapter 2Hm why do I see something slightly sinister in this? |
Infinity Plus One 8/1/04 . chapter 1Haiku story? So that is the reason for the few words. This is a bright beginning, calming in a way. |
Plato's Optic Runaway 6/2/04 . chapter 4This one is most definitely my favourite of the bunch; its elegance overthrows the rest in expertise, save perhaps the first. The antediluvian feel to this with hints at classicism are wonderful; it reminds me of a mother and daughter as you describe as intensely as the first poem in this collection. |
Plato's Optic Runaway 6/2/04 . chapter 2It reminds me of my sister as a child; those plastic, superficial dolls with the flourescent pink cradle. Terribly reminiscent. |
DueTuesday 5/24/04 . chapter 5i severly love your haikus. doors and keychains is rockin'. Youve seriously inspired me to start writting my haikus. check them out i think i have two up there so far but im going to be adding more soon. |
Lina Inverse 4/21/04 . chapter 1I love the imagery... But just as a tiny little nitpick... it's spelled "artifact" |
breakdown in the waiting room 3/17/04 . chapter 2I used to have those diaries, too. One time, I had this little one my mother gave me- one of my cousins read it and then ripped it up. She's a bitch. It took me a few times re-reading this before I fully understood the message, but the more I read a piece, the more my appreciation for it grows. -Jessica |
breakdown in the waiting room 3/17/04 . chapter 1Hm. . .I don't quite get this one, though I love the whole idea of an autobiography in haiku. Like photographs. And the title - "Stand Back, Daughter" is fantastic. -Jessica |
breakdown in the waiting room 3/17/04 . chapter 3Oh! *shivers* Love the image and the title. -Jessica |
breakdown in the waiting room 3/17/04 . chapter 4The tone of the piece is so sad. . .when I was a kid I had those same books. And no bedtime stories. -Jessica |
breakdown in the waiting room 3/17/04 . chapter 5Sounds like my house. The words all flow together perfectly for this frightening, heart-breaking image. -Jessica |
Lina Inverse 3/15/04 . chapter 3I really like this one... It's so... deep... How do you carefully create something, then treat it like a slave? It's like if a parent gave birth to a child, and carefully raised her into a young woman, then restricted her into just doing chores/working for the family business. |
