| Arn 2008-04-28 ch 3, | abuseOk, the first poem was really dramatic. Tears don't "rain" unless you're emo or practice crying a lot..or something weird lke that. Second poem, i think its either a little too late or early for the winter season, but I liked the concept. I liked the third poem, especially the line music as a 'universal language' thought it was well ritten. |
| painted.music 2007-10-25 ch 11, | abusekonban wa Eh. I have to be honest: I didn't particularly love this one. *shrug* I mean I didn't NOT like it, but I didn't find anything that made me think, "Wow, that was a really great poem." I did like the line, "Physically present, mentally absent," because I can most definitely relate. *grin* That was a really funny line, LoL. Zaijen -Shan- |
| painted.music 2007-10-25 ch 10, | abusekonban wa I also have friends -- family friends -- who live over in California. We were talking in history class yesterday; she asked us to give an example of how the NOW connects with the THEN of American history (I can't remember what the topic we were connecting WAS, though). In any case, I mentioned the fires, and she agreed whatever... and everyone in my class was like, "What? Fires? Huh?" It's sad that no one around here really knows anything about it... What's worse is that I probably wouldn't have known about it either had I not *happened* to be watching the news a couple of nights ago. I just walked into my parents' room at the right time and saw a clip of it and the explanation. So really I can't blame my classmates for being ignorant any more than I can blame myself. I really should start reading the paper or something. Anyway, that was SO off-topic! I just wanted to say that I liked this poem -- very heart-felt. I hope your friends are all right! Zaijen -Shan- |
| painted.music 2007-10-23 ch 9, | abusekonban wa I like this a lot because it reminds me of my life in general. I honestly don't believe in that good luck from a penny mumbo jumbo, but I know that stuff like that is in the mind. If you truly believe it's a lucky penny, you'll feel lucky. Therefore, technically, you WILL be lucky -- it's all in the attitude. So anyway, whenever I see a penny on the floor in some obscure place, I'll pick it up to move it to a place more obvious... for the next person who believes in lucky pennies. :) So this poem reminded me of that. I liked it. :D Zaijen -Shan- |
| NekoKaji 2007-10-18 ch 2, | abuseSo far so good... I really like these! :) |
| painted.music 2007-10-18 ch 2, | abusekonban wa Ah. I wish this could happen in my family. (Well, technically, it COULD -- but it hasn't happened yet.) It just sounds so... peaceful. I actually love the way you wrote the last stanza, whether accidental or not. The first line: "Stuck inside" makes it sounds like it's forced and undesired. But then you sort of fix that image of "I wish I weren't stuck inside with them" with the "wrapped in blankets, etc." :D Kudos. Beautiful. Peaceful. I loved it. Zaijen -Shan- |
| painted.music 2007-10-18 ch 1, | abusekonban wa This was OK, but I think it might be better with some more imagery. I'm not positive, but this was good -- just not great exactly. :/ Zaijen -Shan- |
