abuseI don't think I have the stamina to write another long one today...

Your poems are fit for a lord...

And brutality has been engraved on all our souls.

Thanks to you... I understand things...more. (Would that be the right words?)

Icicle Tears

P.S. Keep writing... Please. The worlds need poets...poets are the writers of the new pages in our book.

abuseOh, this seems a bit familiar. :-)
"And I still wore his crown" is a very effective way of ending it.
Good job.

abuseTo be honest, the first thing I thought of when I read this was the Arthurian reference/Neo-Pagan reference to the stag as being a 'king'. I've been reading a lot of Renaissance poetry in my English class and it seems forest animals are pretty common tools for metaphors. Just an observation -- it works with your poem though.

Respect, sorrow, love, fear, all of these things I pick up from the word choice of this poem. I can almost sense the distaste mentioned in the summary for this task, unbearable though it must be done.

A question -- Why is Lord capitalized? Are we referring to Lord, the Man, God, or just a noble lord and it's capitalized in your piece. I notice trivial things, sometimes.

Great work, I like it. Keep writing!

abuseI read this poem a few days ago, and just couldn't get it out of my head, so I came back to review. It's got so much undercurrent, and I love that.

The thing that stands out the most is your poetic voice. It's like...part human, part animal, part pure emotion. Overall, it's just plain powerful and identifiable. I love it.

And the way you break up your poems (line breaks and brackets and such) really works for you.

abuseDefinitely morbid. You've got great imagery going here and I adore the way you put in little side notes with parenthesis around them. You've done a wonderful job. I think I may have trouble getting this image out of my head... Oh well, it'll only give me nightmares for a few weeks. :P

abusewow this is very different from anything I have read on fictionpress which is part of the reason I love it so much.

Also it is epic and flows well and is hauntingly beatiful.

great job.

abuseThis is definitely one of my favorites. "And still I wore his crown." Perfect ending. Again, your descriptions are just lovely =).

abuseThis was a very nice poem. You had some very good images that made it very easy to 'see' the story as it was happening. I particulary liked "And when I did, I ate his image with my eyes that had been fasting, Fasting for days," and the lines that follwo it. Excellent image. I'm not sure what you intended, but the impression I kept getting throughout the poem was that of a Druidess become part of the woods. The cloak of hide and the antler crowns especially lended themselves to that image.

The only thing that bothered me was that all the lines were capitalized. This made me stumble over some of the lines because it made me pause in places that shouldn't have had pauses. Other than that, I really enjoyed this poem. Good job.

abuseI love some of the repitition in this. "the deed would be done" and the lines about motives. it's a really moving piece. And I love the idea of the antler crown- really beautiful!
