Love this-- both of them. The rhymes aren't contrived at all, and the rhythm is just beautiful. Amazing job.

Night is a good read. I especially like the character that plays the Beethoven, though I don't recall his name.

woah. i like this. ive always liked the idea of silence. you know, like how the silence can be so loud at times when the definition of silence is the absence of sound. nice poem.

The present tense makes the whole thing so much more suspenseful and chilling. This is truly arresting, it had me riveted. I like it when you bunch the silencing of his 'voice, opinion and thoughts' together. It makes the structure seem more interesting. I'm not quite sure about the "And finally". It's quite all right to me at one glance but there's just something that bugs me about it, as if it's trying to relay the time lost, but it ends up marring the beauty of the ending. I love the last line, it's very beautiful. Truly.

GREAT!

Absolutely beautiful. Touching and erm... great. I especially like the fact that, unlike lots of other authors, you use the pronoun 'he' instead of 'she'. Props to you for non-cliche. And once again, that lovely simplicity.

So sad, but the thought is very well voiced.

Not shabby at all, Ms. Quill! Not shabby at all...Third installment is quite interesting.

Bad pun, I know. (But yours was worse.) Think about it. how are my arguments unbased? This guy attempted to rob the fairies of all their gold! On the back of the first book, it says he's evil. I have Eoin Colfer on my side! And no guilt-tripping either--I frankly don't give a dang about his dysfunctional family. ::completely without sympathy:: And I don't smoke...Although I can't say that for EVERYONE here...

I'm very disappointed in you. I'm prejudiced against country music, Artemis Fowl, and O!Pioneers fans. I'm going to convert you one of these days.

However, contact me at ONCE when you start to write prose. (Yes, the writing that people can actually make money off of. Unlike best-selling novelists, poets usually have to commit suicide before they get any recognition.)
~megztah!

I am appalled! Appalled, simply shocked that you'd think of me as that! Morbid? You? Certainly not! ::chokes on hypocrisy and sarcasm::
Anyway. NICE JOB. I liked "Silent". Kinda reminds me of that Simon and Garfunkel song. YOU know what I'm talking about. (?!) "Tears" was also good. Don't expect much help from me unless you start to do prose. Poetry has a way of eluding me in all its Weirdness and Generally Springing From LSD use.
Don't forget to print out you-know-what and bring it to class tomorrow, or I'll be doing a whole lot more than smirking (does ANYTHING sound threatening coming from me?)
Argh...I can't believe you like Artemis Fowl. You and Nienna both! Fowl is...well, he's foul, lame as that may sound.
Stopping here now...What is this, constructive criticism or social time?!

Hi there FQ. Interesting and deep piece of work; I love the last line.
"The wind blows itself away, bearing with it all of his memories"
I think I would have cut the "and finally" then that's just me.
Another thought provoking poem.
Very well done here.
KEEP WRITING!
F.C
