I like the title, it's a great warning. Gotta say I didn;t really like the haiku though, seemed kind of like a cop out you know? Especially since it's only day 5!

I like the piece, really nice description of a lightning storm.
I really like the middle line, that small bit of personification in it definitely adds a lot to the piece.

"diamond flakes fall makes me think…"... make, I think really it's making, but makes just sounds really awkward.

Again like the last line really funny and kind of unexpected because I thought it would be something nice about snow and then it wasn't.

That last line really makes the piece, it's so hysterical. I don't know why you capitalized the s's though, that seemed a bit awkward. Also I think there are better words you could have come up with that are more fun to say with a lisp.

I like this, it's really funny and a great introduction. I do think you went a bit overboard with the ellipses however. I think one is definitely enough.

I like how you don't just skip a day or something, you make an excuse un a haiku. I like the ending because it shows how you are waiting and hoping. Good work. Shameless plug:Review Marathon time (link in profile)!

I like this one, it is much deeper than your other ones. I like the flow of this, it is natural and relaxed.

I like the word choice and hints at insanity. Just one thing, make it into the line-by-line format of a haiku.

I like it, it made me laugh. Just one thing, the first sentence could be restructured.

I like the sybolism in this, it is imaginitive and real. I also like the general tone of it, it fit perfectly with the words.

I like the subtlety of this one, it shows how every twitch of the muscle means something if you look. However, I might try rephrasing this a little bit.

This one is a good excuse for not writing something else. I like that you didn't try to make something more of what was and you just went with what you have, it's raw and honest like poems should be.

I like lightning as a metaphor for rage and pain because it is original and very accurate. I liked the flow of this, very simple, and very nice.
403 Forbidden 2008-07-20 . chapter 3
I like the imagery here, vivid and beautiful. I also like the classic-but-never-cliche "damn you" endsing because it ends a poem well, connecting it to reality.

I like the sort of relaxed musing voice you use. I like the words you chose, too, they just...work. Shameless plug:Review Marathon time (link in profile)!
