Scrolled 2008-08-18 ch 1,	abuseI really enjoyed this piece, it made me think of Alice and Wonderfland actually. I remembered different scenes from the few times I had been as a child. I could hear it almost sing-songy in my head. The end confused me; reading? I'll be "thinking" about your poem now, trying to figure it out :)
Harmonic Discord 2008-06-01 ch 1,	abuseI'm no poetry expert, but something felt a little off to me about the meter of this poem. I know it's free verse... some of the lines at the beginning are a little long, I think, and that kind of threw me. I loved the subject matter, though. I think this is something a lot of readers - and authors - can relate to.
simpleplan13 2008-05-24 ch 1,	abuseNot sure why you misspell circus. In your name it's fine, but for the piece it seems odd. I like the ending because it was unexpected. I also liked your description of the circus because it was very accurate. PS If youre bored this weekend check out the Review Game's Review Marathon (link in my profile)
FreakierThanThou 2007-11-20 ch 1,	abuseHa! That was great. I like your summary of it. From the summary, though, I didn't expect a poem describing the world in your head. Don't worry, you're not alone imagining worlds, I have thousands! From the first two lines, I knew I'd love it. First impressions are usually right! I like the last two, too. Keep writing, -Freaky
A Perfect Sonnet 2007-11-12 ch 1,	abuseI really enjoyed the concept of this piece. It's easy to relate to (especially for us fiction press kids) and has an interesting discussion about how people feel about reading. You definitly captured a common emotion among your audience. My only criticism is that the flow and rhythm of the piece is sometimes a bit choppy. I think you just got a little caught up in trying to make things rhyme where you wanted them to -that seems to be common with a lot of people. Just remember that poetry doesn't have to rhyme. It can, but it doesn't have to. Really nice work though, I enjoyed it.
FrankCastle09 2007-10-12 ch 1,	abuseI really love this poem, probably because I can relate to it so much. I don't have just one world inside my head but many and that always keeps things interesting. I think this really speaks to the mind of writer and its fantastic, great job.
Ramenluver 2007-09-05 ch 1,	abuseVery imaginative. I would say you're a little insane, but then again, I named my Muse. He's Bob, by the way. Bob: Hi. -Ramen
Shookie Smiles Sweetly 2007-08-26 ch 1,	abuseGood Job! You know I jsur re-read your review and just realized that you reviewed one of my older poems! lol, but never mind, you picked a good one. Anywho, i really liked this. Cheers --Shookie
Ammom 2007-08-18 ch 1,	abuseNow that's a cool poem. I like it. Yours seem personal, and have a nice different style.
Della Notte 2007-07-19 ch 1,	abuseA woderful poem! I can so relate to it, probably like many others. Keep up the good work! ~Della
Dollface Dead 2007-07-12 ch 1,	abuseTee-hee, if it's not normal then we're not normal together. So a circus, then? Interesting, definately Interesting. I like. Oh, and thanks for the review. And before I forget... you have a cool pen name. vanishes in a puff of smoke
Translucently Opaque 2007-07-06 ch 1,	abuseVery nice! I know a lot of people probably relate to this. Your choice of title is also very amusing/true. The rhythm and flow were steady and smooth. Also, I found your profile very intriguing; especially your choice of favorite words, and your favorite quote. I took your advice and did the personality test. I am an Introvert, Sensor, Thinker, Judger; almost the same as yours. Anyway, thank you for gracing us with your poem. It was very enjoyable.
Guardrail 2007-07-05 ch 1,	abuseThis is a really creative piece and I love the images that you bring to it. The imperfections of the rhythm, rather than being hinderances, complement the poem very well. Nicely written! Great work, keep writing, and thanks so much for the review!
Violet Marx 2007-07-04 ch 1,	abuseCute. =) I like it, sometimes I think there are way to many angsty romance-y poems. "Almost always, When I’m in a chair, Bored half to death, maybe." Doesn't work, really. The third line doesn't match the rhyme scheme, to me, and it's off rhythm. Otherwise, it's good. Keep writing! Violet
Lydia024 2007-07-03 ch 1,	abuseThis is a very good, very creative poem! Good job!! Lydia
