 RuathaWehrling 2006-02-23 . chapter 1Hi! Thanks for your review of "Xatu" a while back. Allow me to return the favor! I'll comment as I read.
1.) "I can hear what you're saying, I can see what you need." -- You want to use a semicolon, not a comma, here.
2.) " I wish I could break down everyone of those" -- This is just opinion, but I think this is one of those times where you want "every one" to be written as two separate words. "Everyone" generally refers to a person. Also, I like the symbolism in this paragraph!
3.) "Everyone sways before they break; you have yet to flinch." -- Very nice line!
4.) "you couldn’t blink back before it was too late." -- Take a look at the verb tense here. Do you mean "can't" and "is" instead?
This is a lovely poem, and I hope your friend recognized you for all your help and comfort. Sometimes we all just need a friend to sit in the rain with. And a llovely job on the writing, too. :) Keep it up! --Ruatha |
