 nine iron 2007-03-04 . chapter 3Wow, really makes one think!
Love the style and the end! I have read a fair few of your works now and been very impressed! I can see why you have got many reviews! I have a while to go to rebuild my fanbase here! Im off to a very slow start.
Keep writing

 no.peace.los.angeles 2006-11-28 . chapter 4I felt heavy reading this, and that takes a lot. I think the repetition works well in this poem. Your stanza breaks are also really nice. I don't know if anyone's mentioned that, but I thought it deserved to be mentioned. Nice work. Keep writing! :) |
 no.peace.los.angeles 2006-11-28 . chapter 3Oh, I really like this one. The verb usage is just phenomenal in this one - I can really see and feel the stones plinking down into your stomach. Nice. And the end is very philosophical, and that's a nice touch. It's not always easy combining the tangible and the abstract like you've done. Keep writing! :) |
 no.peace.los.angeles 2006-11-28 . chapter 2The imagery in this one is very strong, though simple, and that works just fine, because you're describing this woman who is seen by others as cold, but she's just putting on this front. Or at least that's how I saw this. Nice work. Keep writing! :) |
 no.peace.los.angeles 2006-11-28 . chapter 1Oh, very nice. You've managed to make a tiny moment in time, something that's really an everyday event, into something so grandiose. That's wonderful. Your images and strong and clear, and that allows me to see the scene. Great work. Keep writing! :) |
 heroin zombie 2006-10-11 . chapter 1I'm just going to review "Still."
I like the simple, uncluttered descriptions, but some of it's too formal and doesn't fit in with the rest of the generally colloquial language. Language like "lest" and "for fear of" specifically, but there are entire lines that have a sort of formal, dry quality, particularly near the end. There are also some cases of overwriting, like "breaking this unreality" and both the "I dare not" lines. Actually, if you were to mend both the "I dare not" lines, I'd probably be satisfied with the entire poem. It's good, though the time theme seems a bit unclear, but you probably expand on it later. Still, this should stand on its own. |
 nanashi-04 2006-07-11 . chapter 4nice very nice. this peice really embodies the "sick" feeling. |
 Aslan Israel 2006-07-01 . chapter 4I love the feeling of not just a physical emptiness, but an emotional one as well. Nice job. |
 Archipelago 2006-07-01 . chapter 4I like this one. It seems like it's about depression for a broken heart kinda thing...also sounds a bit like an anorectic with depression...I so love that you're updating more. |
 Archipelago 2006-06-29 . chapter 3Hi! Rearranging? I'll lose track of what I've read...and reviewed...I like this poem(Interpretations)it's very open to interpretation. I like actually visualizing someone swallowing the stones and rotting and all that then I like thinking about the person swallowing back their words and and the fact that what's unspoken doesn't just, umm, evaporate. Or dissappear or whatever. |
 Aslan Israel 2006-06-29 . chapter 3Nice to see the italicized effects. Very nice.
Nothing defeats time, ne? |
 Aslan Israel 2006-06-29 . chapter 2I'd be interested to know why you chose to capitalize certain words...it gives the poem a different effect. Nice job overall. |
 Aslan Israel 2006-06-29 . chapter 1I love the feel of this, almost dark but somehow comforting. My only suggestion would be to use more punctuation to define the rhythm. Even free-verse poetry has a rhythm.
I love your ending. It just really captures that moment, that feeling of eternity in a second. Great job. |
 Goddess Cytherea 2006-06-27 . chapter 1i liked the piece. It has a smoothing kinda way as the words gooes along. Keep up the writing :) |
 Universal Empire 2006-06-26 . chapter 3I liked this piece! Nice imagery throughout the whole thing! Keep writing! |
