 kiizu 2004-09-05 . chapter 1hmm. i... liked Avian Titania better. this one has a few minor problems... [i'm not saying i can do better]
minor-ish things: porcelain back... well... you can't exactly see her back, so it shouldn't be the whiteness, but her back also shouldn't be breakable, and porcelain isn't exactly malleable. it just doesn't seem to fit.
the third stanza... [does "will he like it" count?] "foul up" kind of ruins the mood. actually, the whole stanza's mood is a little different. i know it's because of the POV change, but... yeah.
lambkin, frolicking: this has connotations of being very... childlike, hapy, bouncy etc. but in previous and later stanzas the dance seems more... elegant. and if it was a childlike dance the king probably wouldn't... you know... and furthermore, she wouldn't really seem the type to kill. her thoughts do show naivete... so would she really kill? or have a dagger, at that...
well, basically, the mood and tone is rather... fluctuating. probably because of the POV change, but it could be smoother anyway ^^
saa. the idea is great, and nice imagery/description. ganbatte~ |
