I love your title, "Styx & Stones." Obvious yet interesting play on words. It also clarifies the poem itself.

This also had a wonderful rhythm to it. I could feel it immediately in the reular length lines, and even in the shorter lines the transition was well-done.

I'm sorry, I'd normally give you a more detailed review, but I'm trying to review as much as I can! I'll be sure to check out more of your work another time :)

How I love Greek mythology references... Beautifully done

I am quite taken with the phrase "smoke curls round your words like sultry translations."

REALLY good. i LOVE it. very deep, and very moving.

Wow, amazing. I love the Greek Mythology link in this, it's neat. You're very talented, I must say -- keep writing!

Simply incredible. The imagery is rich, and the story the images portray is heart-breaking. I envy your ability to choose words that radiate so much power. Oh, and did I mention: this is amazing.

That's--amazing.

*In awe*

Very impressive--reminiscent and yet very much in the present. The lack of capitalization and the alternate spelling of the title contribute to the narrator's attitude as well.

such a beautiful sculpted poem in pure simplicity and imagery, however in line 7, the repetition of "word" trips me [and the flow] up. Definitely a part needing of editing. (and the bold of the poem was completely accidental.)

Thank you for your review.

I like the mix of death/passion/love. It could bear a bit more development.

woah, pretty amazing work, there. i love the lines "tonight we are the paradise lost, and we laugh as we burn eden alive." i don't really get how the poem fits the title, though, in the "sticks" bit. stones is pretty obvious.

I love your word choices on this

"smoke curls round your words like sultry translations"

"you taste like the lethe, darling.
and oh,
how I have grown to love this darkness."

Got to be my favorite parts, they sound great when read aloud.
Excellent poem :D

Wow. I loved the River Styx reference. I didn't hit me until the second time I read it though.

Very nice, the imagery in this is just amazing.
