Midnight In Eden 2008-06-14 . chapter 1
One question - I don't understand the use of "And" at the beginning of the poem. Sometimes it can work but I don't see its use here.

Also, some of the punctuation feels a bit half-hearted. For example, it feels like you forgot a period at the end of line two. I'm also not sure of the dash at the end of line seven, it doesn't connect those two lines and I think it's because the "our songs" feels out of place in that sentence.

Some of your tenses are a bit awkward too. You go from past to present (exactly at the end of line five, prior everything is past, afterwards everything is present). I'd recommend keeping it consistent otherwise it gets a little confusing.

All that said, I really like the last line and the idea of this poem. You use some very vivid and interesting descriptions that do make this a pleasure to read.

Finally, check out the Review Marathon, it's part of the Review Game - there's a link in my profile. Great way to give and receive reviews.

The imagery and descriptions here are perfect. The rhythm seems a bit messy, but I love the entire concept, and it really invokes feelings of nostalgia.

Two perfect combinations. Fantasy and poetry. Love it. The first line was probably my favorite, a good way to start it. xD

I really enjoyed this poem. The image you build brings me back to memories of childhood, building sand castles with my brother. It has a very nice reminiscing tone. The last lines make for a nice completion.

Nostalgia, nostalgia. This certainly evokes feeling and brings up long-lost memories. Seemingly a poem about a very meaningless topic, it packs a lot of punch. Very nice work.

Wow, that's really pretty. Definitely 'took me there'. Lovely.

mm i like it =) love the imagery of the beachside and the feeling of just playing with sand and shells... really "summery" if you get what i mean. the last two lines are really good too... gives us the feeling of a farewell without really saying so. plus the fact that petals fall off during autumn...
