raelia 2006-07-14 ch 1, anon.	abuseI love this. The ending is what takes me, and the beginning is really creative. This a wonderful poem. Honestly.
skylines 2006-06-17 ch 1,	abuseThat was... amazing. Your profile said you liked CC reviews. I would try, but theres not to critize here. This was so deep, and I think theres a story hidden behind it. Thanks for your reviews, people like you make me happy :). I realize that my age turns people off, its that I haven't gotten around to changing my profile. Your reviews helped me out a lot, and I might just edit My Rebel Addiction, and go deeper. Thanks much! Keep on wirting!
Killing Karma 2006-05-11 ch 1,	abuseDeep. It really means somethin to me.
Unexpected Angel 2006-03-15 ch 1,	abuseWOW. Thats all I can say. I love it. It's wonderful. For some reaosn, reading this motivates me to write again. Cheesy but true. I haven't written in forever! Now, I shall go write some meaningless babble so I can get it out of my system lol. (Okay so maybe I could say more then 'Wow') PS: You're going on my fave author list :-D
Rachel Peterson 2006-03-01 ch 1,	abuseWow. Very bitter and hard sounding. I liked the bit about the farmer especially, but it seems some of the text effects may be a bit much (just to my humble mind!) But very nice.
the Stranger in the moonlig... 2006-02-19 ch 1,	abuseThis is so horrible. You are shattering dreams of a better place and yet I can undertsand why. You are ashamed and tired of being in a place where lies are all you recieve. I understand that, but no reason to be cruel. Nicely done though and I really liked the formatting. Great expression of emotion. Sincerely, the Stranger in the moonlight.
amour propre 2006-02-16 ch 1,	abuseI don't like the formatting. It seems like you were trying too hard to be original by screwing up the formatting. It reminds me of how xanga kids randomly underline/bold/italicize inappropriate words so that their writing looks less crappy than it really is. Bascially, bad writing hiding behidn stylish font. Too many bad writers think they're e e cummings, and the whole technique is overused and boring now. writing completely in lowercase, MiXiNG LoWeRCaSe and UPPERcase is no longer unique. You'd probably fit into that category, but I do like the writing by itself."...strangled by your cotton wool silences" etc. I also like the title and the repeating box theme. I do understand what frame of mind you must have been in when playing with bolds and italics--I do the same thing when I'm bored/sad/have a headache. However, as a poem it would probably be better to stick with normal font. Let your words speak for themselves.
Amaranthe 2006-02-01 ch 1,	abuseI love this- love it. The different emphasis given by bolding, italics, and parenthesis is great, it really makes you pay attention to the words.
hoowdoideletethisaccount 2006-01-10 ch 1,	abuseI found this poem to be incredibly sad. There's this total rejection of hope, encased in the philosophy that reality=pain. I would never argue that reality isn't cold. (It can be.) Or that it can't be hard. But it isn't always. And people make their own choices- they can choose to overcome. That said (whew... haha), I know what you mean. Life isn't easy. It's not comfortable. "But I am strangled by your cotton wool silence" That line was brilliance defined. :) Beautifully written.
Jezsh 2005-12-31 ch 1,	abuseI like how bitter it is. I'd probably say there is a little too much formatting, but really each to their own and it's not overpowering - definitely brings across the violent emotion in it. I really love the way every sense is involved with cotton-wool silences and fruit-flavoured visions of the world. And even if it wasn't meant, I find the bit about the farm and farmer adds a stab of bitter humour that works really well. Great work.
amethystdawn 2005-12-18 ch 1,	abuseFab writing style. Very original. It's quite broken up and in a weird way i like it. It doesn't come across as choppy. It's like you meant it to be broken... like the shattered dreams of an innocent (eh. feeling poetic today). Odd thought: "Where farm animals live in green fields (The grass is always greener)With a smiling sun (No-one smiles anymore)And a ruddy farmer (Alcoholic widower)"=TAKE THAT BARNEY! HA! I SMITE YOU WITH ANGST! Pardon me. i have a passion for disliking that purple dinosaur. I also dislike dora the explorer and those demonic teletubbies (shudder) Sesame Street rocks. love 'em fuzzy puppets. I miss steve from blues clues. >_< Joe's just not the same. I have no idea why I'm discussing children's shows with you. O_o ... I will stop now. Well anyways, Merry Christmas again! Love and hugs, dawn
Neaera 2005-12-16 ch 1,	abuseI like it in the sense it shows a bit of the realities of the world, the dark thoughts in people's minds like "But I want to be h.u.r.t E-v-e-n if it’s just to prove I can be". Wicked job. And I don't think it's that bad! It's a twist and a new style I haven't really seen. I like it. Putting things in the paranethesies makes me feel like someone is saying something, and another is whispering the second thoughts, but that's my messed up mind;o) I like the twist on how in the last few lines, you say the grass is greener, but no one is smiling... I don't know, just... something sticks out there to me that I really like.. WICKED JOB! KEEP IT UP HUNS!
sloppy firsts 2005-12-13 ch 1,	abuseM... i love the comparisons you make in this. "Like a child on a train L.o.n.g.i.n.g. to know what it is like To be -there- Amongst everything" l o v e those lines.
staysmall 2005-12-05 ch 1,	abuseWow really amazing! I luved it.
tiredof 2005-11-28 ch 1,	abuseI loved the formatting, it creates an abruptness that adds to the bitter edge and makes it have a texture of its own. I really liked the image of being fed a view of the world on "a - cold- steel - spoon". One for the fav list I think.-tiredof
