| One-Hand Clap 2008-04-19 ch 1, | abuseThis poem is slightly disjointed, as I suppose you intended, to give it maybe a tiny bit of a breathless feel. But I've got to admit, I didn't like it because of the dislocation of the words. I think it would read better if you didn't do it like this: we play tag in the sun, which really is not as complex as we make it seem. it just floats there --it-- because I don't understand why 'it' is formatted like that. That's just my bitchy opinion, though. However, I DID love the imagery in this poem - don't get me wrong - it was just the dislocation that threw me. The idea of repitillian/cold-blood/warming in the sun was lovely. I really took that in -- so overall, quite a good poem, really! But I would suggest you changed the formatting around a bit. - Clap Trap, from Review Marathon (link in my profile) |
| no.peace.los.angeles 2008-04-10 ch 1, | abuseThis is gorgeous. It's sad, depressing, bittersweet, yes, but it's just beautiful. Perfect, really. I love "slimy, lizard tongues" and how elegant the first stanza is. Unique and I honestly love it. Keep writing! :) |
