abuseHot damn.

Short, sweet(...?), and crystal clear. I don't mean that the subject was transparent, I mean that you described everything really simply which is nice.

Plus it's a really neat concept. I could imagine all of that seeping and springing. I'd like to note that adding a color into the mix was a smart move. Colors can set a mood and tone instantaneously, and in this case it opened a floodgate in my mind.

I LUV YOU! Ahem. I mean, good job! I'd be thrilled to read more poetry like this. Hint hint...

abuseVery nice, in a sort of creepy way. Hard to explain, but so is death, I guess.
You're a very talented poet.

abuseAlthough I might be wrong, my impression of the poem is this:

Putting death in a box and waiting for it to spring means that death would happen at random, rather than having the effects of aging slowly take hold of a person. The fact that it's in an open tomb seeping slowly may mean that instead it does take hold of a person little by little and shows it's effects and grasp as time passes.

Hope I got that right, haha! Either way, good for a short little piece.

P.S. Thanks for the review on "Touch Assignment." When I'm back to the computer I normally use I should have an update for that in the next week or two. Glad to see you're really enjoying it. While I didn't intend for it to be overly reminiscient of Kingdom Hospital, I can definitely see why you feel that way. Also, I'm happy to see I'm playing into multiple fears of your's! Hope you continue to enjoy the story as I update more!

abuseAwesome.
I like the comparison
of death
and spring.

Even though they're total opposites.
They mesh
quite well.

Great job. ^^

abuseCool, this is a nice poem. I like the way it rhymes, and the second to last line gives the feeling it slowly takes you over as opposed to very suddenly. The last line gives it a more of a positive connotation, probably because of using the words softly and bloom. But I like it. :)

abuseI also got chills from this. It's beautiful and yet morbid. Very well done. But why did you choose this title?

abuseI love the rhyming in this -- it's simplistic and sort of lullaby-ish, but the poem itself is haunting. And I love the image of death in the second stanza, like a cross between a flower and smoke. I really liked this and I'm adding it to my favorites. Keep writing.

abuseI like the flow of this piece and the dark imagery. Reading this gave me goosebumps… and that’s a good thing. I also had the strangest feeling of déjà vu as I read this piece, like I had read this before. Anyway, keep up the good work!
