 fairytale failure 2006-09-30 . chapter 1great, great imagery. I agree with the review below, this poem could use more substance to give it more meaning. But perhaps that would ruin the whole whimsical effect you have going on. for the first 4 stanzas you have a little pattern going (i like the little lines with the same word on the end) but then suddenly you change the pattern...it would be nice if it were repeated again. |
 Booser 2006-08-15 . chapter 1Hm...I think the poem has a good idea behind it, but It's hard to tell what is going on or why. There isn't enough 'material' to it to really make sense. I think i only really got what i think you were trying to say because of the description you gave. Ilike your vocab though. there's some really neat words there. I'd guess that you had a mental picture so to speak, but had some trouble putting it into words that the reader will understand. Maybe add more details? Its not bad though. keep it up. |
 tsarevich alexei 2006-07-30 . chapter 1I like this one a lot. Happy poetry isn't really common here, it would seem, and I enjoyed it.The ending is good. Somehow I feel like one more word would give it a finality. Sitting on a toadstoolLaughingLiving...(and then another word here)maybe it's just me..something to think about. Good job! |
 Dale Christopher 2006-07-25 . chapter 1Wow, okay this is interesting. I love the way you describe different toadstools in such a simple manner (flat and wide, short and thin). I got so much imagery from such little words (which is something I know about as I write a lot of haiku). I also like how you describe what’s its like on each toadstool. The verse:
'Grinning on a whimEars a'quiver, shiverToes a'rosy posie'
Seems like something out of a fairytale. I really like it. After that it’s all clear imagery and a bit of fun, really. For some reason I kept picturing Tinkerbell as the pixie, but I like Tink so that’s cool. The toadstools made me think of the Super Mario games on the old Nintendo system. I just thought this was a fantastic little poem, I got some really fantastic images from it and it brightened my day (because I'm at work and I'm bored).
Peace, Daze |
 drippingdreams 2006-07-25 . chapter 1Cute. Yeah, "skippy" is a good way to describe the feel of this one. It makes me want to go paint a cute little pixie swinging stocking'd feet and giggling on a toadstool, silly little thing, children's book illustration bright happy picture.
I like "grinning on a whim" and "brimming over / spilling over" and then "sinking down / dripping down."
& thanks for the R&R on my "Clockwork Paradoxes." |
