Holly Rose E 2006-04-07 ch 1,	abusethat was crazy-good... you have an awesome vocabulary and were able to incorporate that in your work, lol... i wish i was more helpful, but i'm still sort of in awe by it...great job!
classic violet 2005-12-31 ch 1,	abuseI love the first line, it was so magical and beautiful.
amethystdawn 2005-11-23 ch 1,	abusejaw drops This is a fantastic poem. i swear. And you have a good background on Greek Mythology too, plus a wide vocabulary. ^_^ (you made me look up "diaphanous" -_-) Anyways, I love the rhyming. It flows quite smoothly. The last line strikes me a bit odd though. Ah well. Over-all, this is simply fab. Keep writing! -dawn PS: thanks for the review! hug
Sharakinpaix 2005-11-12 ch 1,	abuseOnce again your huge vocabulary astounds me. The addition of "ephemeral" probably adds the slight "bitter to the sweet" you mentioned in the summary. Éire means Ireland right? This is the first time I have seen the word "honeyed" used to describe something as romanticized. Beautiful and sweet. I could taste it. The tone suddenly changes toward whoever the persona is speaking to... or does the persona change? Is it autumn that the persona is talking to? No, it must be the sky! It gets cold at the end "winter." The cobblestones might weep when it's raining. The sky's beauty is unfathomed. The sky's hair is the clouds. At night, the stars dance like fire... But looking at the porcelain cheeks... I think I'm off, haha... Oh yeah, caryatids are statues of robed women, so they might envy the sky's feet because the sky travels so much. Still... am I still off?
smile persephone 2005-10-30 ch 1,	abuseAmazing. The diction is utterly gorgeous, as is the imagery. I simply adore the references to Greek mythology. Beautifully written.
rachelalyssa 2005-10-10 ch 1,	abuseOverall, I thought it was well done, though I did have to use my trusty dictionary to make sense of some of those words :p I especially liked the part with the embers, the snow, and the boatman of Stix XD. As for Eldoron, yes I did repost it because I found that my family and friends were giving me reviews that were too biased to be acurate. I probably won't post the entire thing again, because I'm hoping to get it published some day. Anyway, congrats on the poem. -Rachel
Radyn 2005-09-28 ch 1, anon.	abuseOh, but it WAS random, it WAS pointless, and it WAS bad.
grip 2005-09-28 ch 1,	abusethe poem was good. But it seems like you ran out of the vocab words after the first 5 lines. It was just overrun with big words and then nearly halted. besides that, planned or most likely unplanned, well done.
