simpleplan13 9/17/06 . chapter 1nice, i really love that first stanza |
Jecai 9/16/06 . chapter 1Rendering what people look for. 'a/shattered line./A connection.' - Is it even possible to see the line, to 'watch clear-eyed'? My English teacher asked about Azar Nafisi's 'different views of a chair' analogy, asked if God could know what the chair really is. Sometimes ideas seem to work for us, sometimes not. |
notACTUALLYwriting 8/25/06 . chapter 1abrupt. violent. and yet smooth. and how the hell does ANYONE use "passeth" in a poem without sounding stupid? anyone who can do that is undeniably a genius. i'll be lucky to be half as good as you are. |

hey maria 8/20/06 . chapter 1"inopprotune": should be inopportune. I don't like the Old English bits very much - you know, doth, passeth, that sort of thing. It doesn't seem to fit. Maybe that was the point? In that case I don't get it. But I liked the images you create in this - "midsummer sigh of the/milk and honey tone," "silk starry-eyed/evaluation," "the hand doth search for wet." It's all very pretty. The clipped, blunt lines are great too. |
the.pink.life 8/19/06 . chapter 1Hmm. I'm not sure what I think of the language in this piece. I'm not a huge fan of Old English language in poetry unless the poetry is from that time period. The short, choppy sentences are interesting, though. I like that style of writing. I can see where you're coming from with the Old English, though, because the poem's about religion, and if anything's going to be timeless, it's religion. Keep writing! :) |

Nobody-n-Particular 8/16/06 . chapter 1Nice diction. |
The Temptation Of Amadeo 8/16/06 . chapter 1I like the whole feel of this . Beautiful. |
Little Couch 8/15/06 . chapter 1 I'm going to be completely honest, I had trouble figuring out what this was about. But the descriptions and adjectives were awesome. If I had a gold star, I'd give it to you. But, like, I don't. So...yeah. |
