Reviews For: The Last Question

Continuation 2006-12-23 ch 1,	abuseWait..."life's slipping through your fingers"? Watch out for repetition unless it's your motive because people will catch onto that and cast your poetry aside as just the same stuff over and over. Aside from that, from what I gathered, this is the story of someone either a)at a funeral or b)dealing with the death of someone else. The Last Question = When am I going to die? Dum dum dum...
Emily West 2006-06-15 ch 1,	abuseThis is good; it makes me think. I like poems that make me wonder what the author was really thinking about. Lot's of potential here. But what is the last question?
notated descant. 2006-04-20 ch 1,	abuseokay, this isn't bad. You've got all the right ideas, and this has the potential to be a really great, powerful poem. Try to make it flow more, and use a wider range of vocabulary. keep it up!-AznRicebowl

stroke in a can 2005-07-25 ch 1,	abusefrom what i get from reading both of your poems, it seems like you kind of question life, or in some cases death. it's something that's always looming there and i know we can't avoid it, still the concept frightens me. this is very well written.
Xenila Poe 2005-06-23 ch 1,	abuseHmm interesting. I like it... very interesting.
Typesour 2005-06-10 ch 1,	abuseI love how you made the whole thought of death being so final mean something different. I feel as if we're watching and experiencing it happen to someone else. Seeing the end slowly appear in the form of a question. I probably make no sense, but I really like this and the rhythm of it.
Chokinghazard 2005-05-29 ch 1,	abuseThe thought behind this is very good. I even got a vision of standing in a graveyard. o_O; 'Life's slipping through your fingers' Great word use there.
pneumothorax 2005-05-05 ch 1,	abuseInitially I thought it was about the subject dying but then.. [but it hurts like you're the one being buried] suggested that it was someone who had lived while another died. Although, [wet drops on your face] - some crying? and [Life’s slipping through your fingers] suggest that you might be, infact the one dying. Interesting. Almost as if a death leads to your own suicide? It's good.
