Usually I try picking out the stories that have the least reviews... and wow, one with the least reviews has 7 reviews ^^ And I can see why you're so popular.

The poem is beautiful. I love the flow of it, and all your imagery, especially the line, "Let sleep unfold you in her next" - wow, really, this is insane in a totally subdued way... I love it ^^ Must read more.

Moon's Poetess

The thing I love most about your style is the exquisite rhyming scheme and rhythm. Here is another excellent example. And I love how you always tell a story in such a manner that it seems that I am a child sitting next to a fireplace listening to a grandparent telling a tale from yore.

First of all let me say: WRITER'S BLOCK SUCKS! XD LOL

Anyway, getting on topic I'm actually surpised you said that you were battleing with writers block after I read this lovely piece of art. It's simply amazing and finding another word to discribe it would be difficult. Okay maybe not...here's a whole list...

Amazing
Stunning
Terrific
Thrilling
Etc...
You get the picture. XD I really like how it had a lulling feel to it and how it sounded like a melody. Anyway...before I ramble on too much more I'd like to say thank-you for reviewing my poem. ^_^ And I'm absolutely thrilled that you liked it.

I like this...it really captures the spirit of the sea. But who is 'she'? A ship or a person?
And now I finally get what a villanelle is. It's like Dylan Thomas's "Do not go gentle into that good night".

it's a peaceful piece.

Hey Tranquil Thorns!

This is a really good poem - it conjured up really vivid imagery in my mind. I especially like how you repeated 'Close your dreaming eyes and rest' - it really captures weariness!

Did you have any specific event in your mind when you wrote this? I'm really intrigued, becasue it puts me in mind of (and now I reveal my fandom obsessions *sigh*) Lord of the Rings - Cirdain the Shipwright to be more exact, who continually throughout millenia makes ships for those wishing to sail West.

Very good job on this. I like the fact that it's in the form of a sonnet, and the fact that you chose your words carefully making everything tie together. Keep it Up!

Not bad. While simple (possibly a little too simple), the rhythms correctly adhere to the villanelle structure without any disruption or awkward pauses. I'd say, well-done - particularly if You're suffering from writer's block! :) - Adieu, Kat
