 gold against the soul 2005-06-17 . chapter 1You're 13? This is absolutely amazing. It's going on my favorites list. The ideas are varied, the language is origional - this is top notch, mate! |
 beti213 2005-06-14 . chapter 1wow. I absolutely love the stuff about the fingers... original and a little off-kilter while still making sense. I like how you never actually use the word "piano" and yet you describe it so perfectly that there is no way a reader can miss it. your writing is riddled with a subtlety few poets can employ effectively. keep writing! |
 cheeseworth 2005-06-08 . chapter 1i would go, 'hah, sucker! i remembered to review!' or something along those lines, but i figured it'd be somewhat redundant since the very presence of this review speaks for itself. so.
now that i've filled half the box with my rather embarassing inanity, my half-assed crit is kind of redeemed. or something. uh, i like the tone in your poem, your line breaks are good and yeah, i think i like this best out of your other works.
p.s. sorry. i'm too lazy to think of something remotely constructive. |
 Nobody-n-Particular 2005-05-23 . chapter 1This is rich in culture and spiritual meanderings. |
 laundryshapedsouls 2005-05-15 . chapter 1this is beautiful.I read some of your earlier poems and you've improved so so so much. Great work!
ps: are you in CAP? |
 Cyssel 2005-05-09 . chapter 1manuel fajar: true, Steinways are capable of making beautiful tinkling sounds. but a piano's music is only as beautiful as the pianist's skills. and you'd begin to wonder why you paid so much for a Steinway concert grand once the notes start to yellow if you've proved yourself too incompetent for the Mozart-rated keyboard. |
 Manuel Fajar 2005-05-02 . chapter 1Very interesting perspective—life in a hawk's body with skyscraper window eyes—or, as Paul Erdos would say, "My mind is open!" Do you think Steinways are overpriced? They do have a beautiful sound. m |
 wordsworth in a garbage can 2005-05-01 . chapter 1Wow. That was lovely, that was grand. I need to read more of your stuff. I have an insatiable desire to after this. |
 tablesalt 2005-04-27 . chapter 1Ah, beautiful. Particularly enjoyed the last stanza. Ha yes, Chinese is worth angsting over too. And maybe physics. |
