Reviews For: Unicorn in Crow's Street

criti-sized 2008-04-09 ch 1,	abuseHere I am again. I really like the words of this poem and how it seems to reonate a lot stronger than the other one that I read. There seems to be a soft pace in it that makes to words flow easily. I especially liked the end of the first verse where the title is introduced into the poem. Awesome C.S.
concerto49 2008-02-10 ch 1,	abuseThis gives a dreamy feel. I began to see it as though I'd be in a world, a bit blury though, but still able to find me way through. It's full of contrast and comparison and good imagery. "nothing more that the smell of memories " - than? It also feels a little like a fable or a folklore - the idea of the unicorn as well. It is angst, but it's not that hard as some of them are. It's a bit more balanced. I like how there's some sort of patern and flow to it as well.
cls81690 2008-01-02 ch 1,	abuseHey, sorry this took me so long! I forgot to give you your third review. I'll review as I read, okay? I like the first two lines a lot, but I notice right away that there's no end-of-line punctuation. That isn't a problem, it just makes me think you'll have to be really careful about the flow of things, so it's obvious where one thought ends and another begins. The next 3 lines are a little confusing. The order of words and the lines themselves is unusual, but I love the idea of a face lost in the hair of a green river. Kind of makes me think someone drowned and ended up caught in freshwater seaweed, but it's a strong image. The next few lines are beautiful. Lost vs. dying... Walking under the narrator's face? A soul lost under a lover's feet? A bit confusing, but if nothing else it makes the reader think. Here's where we get the first mention of the title. But its significance isn't explained by the next lines. A unicorn, why? Is Crow's St. the literal location as the narrator is thinking this? Now we get a bit more of the explanation for the narrator's heartbreak. She loves someone who's gone, who in the beginning seemed dead. Now, though, it seems as if he chose to leave to sleep with someone else. Or perhaps there's someone else he loved, who's also dead? It's a bit perplexing. For some reason the image of a "unicorn in Crow's Street" really caught my attention. I don't understand the significance of it, I don't understand the exact reason for the narrator's pain, although I get that she loves someone who's beyond reach. In any case, it's a beautiful poem. Some things don't need to make perfect sense.
Mosaic Stains 2007-08-19 ch 1,	abuseSo far I have to give I really like you what you write, or how you write it. The words are definitely nice, but the emotion involved with it is just as nice. Such as: Lost in the hair of a river green I am searching all the time But my time is lost, and your time is dying I read your review, and was wondering if it actually was choppy as she put, but when reading it I didn't find it choppy. Not in the poetry sense. If it were a fiction, then I'd put it was. And since it's a song, it's definitely not choppy.
JellyBeaner 2007-07-15 ch 1,	abuseThe title of this piece drew me, and although it doesn't really make sense, it works. It seems kinda choppy in places, maybe it needs a little more desciptiveness. I get the concept of the poem and I think that it works pretty well as a whole.
