visvisvivimvi 2008-06-14 ch 1,	abusethis is such an amazing piece of poetry. the flow, the rhythm, the imagery (especially the imagery, it's so ethereal and nostalgic) is all perfect. nothing is overdone, which tends to be a problem when you have good imagery (at least for me) great job!
Thenardier 2008-06-13 ch 1,	abuseMay all your journeys lead you far Beneath sun’s eye or Northern star Where restless waters flicker gold – But I will keep the things you told. A wonderful ending. Indeed, I felt that I was dreaming by the sea.
kloun doll 2008-06-12 ch 1,	abuseYou spoke of lands I never knew Of plains where shadow-mountains grew And fields where hoary star-sleeves swelled – Of winding hills where fair-folk dwelled. that's my favorite part, I find romantic this.
scribblemuse 2008-05-29 ch 1,	abuseAiya Tranquil Thorns. Thanks for your review! I love this piece. The lilting rhythm, the almost Anglo-Saxon influence ('long-ships', the kennings and all that lovely alliteration) quite capture a seamaid's song. The images are soft and yet constant, like waves...beautiful. Keep writing. scribblemuse
bavand 2008-05-28 ch 1,	abuseWow... ditto to all the above! Julie
Katsaya 2008-05-25 ch 1,	abuseSTUNNING! The imagery was great and I don't think I could ever find poems like yours anywhere else. Amazing.
miscellanea 2008-05-20 ch 1,	abuseThis is crazy amazing. Your imagery and just everything is so perfect.
xLittleBlackConverse. 2008-05-08 ch 1,	abuseThis poem is amazing. The way you've expressed your thoughts or ideas or whatevever in the form of poetry is very unique. The way you've written is a little bit old-fashioned but thats what makes it more endearing and original. I love it
Chidori Nadare 2008-04-30 ch 1,	abuseIt's so pretty and child-like. It's a breath of fresh air after reading a lot of angst poems in this site. It feels so innocent, fairy-tale like, nostalgic, etc. Great job. -C.N
Andrea Lotte 2008-04-28 ch 1,	abuseI absolutely love the imagery in this...and I love the dreamy, wistful feel to it. Almost like a child's dream, a sort of timeless magical (yet nostalgic) feel. There's one line that I don't think worked so well...that was "Warm winds wept through our flying hair." The beat seems to be thrown off a bit. I like the "warm winds wept" though, so maybe you can manipulate it so the beat works a bit? Other than that, love it and a favourite! Good job :)
eightyeights 2008-04-22 ch 1,	abuseWow, this is such a lovely poem! Man, I totally wish I had your poetry skills. (I think I'm jealous. XP) Your words just flowed (like water--get it? Mermaid? Water? Okay...I'll stop now) and I definitely got a sense of setting/emotion/etc from the sensory details.
the-foresight 2008-04-20 ch 1,	abuseDoesn't really belong in this time does it? I can relate to that. Anyway this has just the right feeling, the image is picture perfect.
Jesse the Storyteller 2008-04-20 ch 1,	abuseBrilliant again! :D Dang. I wish I had your talent for poetry. I like the word choice of "Warm winds wept through..." It's not very ofen you picture the wind as weeping. "And winter winds her bitter screams" is punctuation missing here or something? This line is slightly confusing. Throughout this poem there is a hint of sadness in many of the lines... I like this a lot. -Jesse Attack of the review marathon! (link in profile)
Rainfall Complexity 2008-04-19 ch 1,	abuseI am so impressed by this poem. Of course, after your review of mine and your statement of our poems' similarities, I had to check this out. And I'm stunned by how beautiful it is. It had so much flow to it, and such lovely imagery, and such meaning, that I instantly fell in love. It reminds me of a professional's poem, in all honesty - you did a really wonderful job.
no.peace.los.angeles 2008-04-17 ch 1,	abuseI love the last line of this - it's so final and there's just something about it. I'm not quite sure what I want to say about it. But I really liked it. :) You have a way of writing that puts me right in this fantasy world, and it's so beautifully done. Just gorgeous. Keep writing! :)
