I really enjoyed reading this. The imagery is vivid, and the language quite lyrical.

XD Love it XD

I like the plot and every single sentence.

I felt that I was consumed by your words and didn't know for a second where I was '^^.


Well done!

Another great example of rich imagery and plenty of tangibility in the words. I must admit, this isn't the most original of ideas, but the words and phrases are so full and beautiful, I really didn't mind. The brilliant degrees of love and imagination seem to bloom from the start, though I must say, they seem to decline a bit by the third stanza and don't reach the emotionally beautiful calibur of the beginning. Fortunately, the ending is clear and vibrant.

If you can keep the imagery consistent and blooming by the end, this could be even better. This was a great poem. Nothing too original, but it didn't matter. It was excellent.

This was sweet! Great job weaving all of those words together. My favorite-favorite line is 'I will sit and watch as the Old Tales consipire beneath your eyelids.' Personally I think that is pure genious, right there.

Aww, that is so inspirational and just beautiful. I love how timeless it feels, really like a fairy tale. And it's full of magic and wonder, all the things a child should enjoy. I love it. Very nicely done. Keep writing! :)

This didn't seem like you trying to fight through writers' block...but then again, the things I write to that same end turn out...not very good. Anyway, I liked it, it flowed very well and the tone was very soothing. Nicely done =)

Very pretty =) The metaphors seem a bit much sometimes, but actually, you make it work somehow... love the last lines. Those just seem perfect.

Great, as usual. I love the imagery. Especially love:

"Do you dream of dukes, of nut-cracker children with their steady teeth and ice queens in their palisades"

Great job :D

very fairy tale-ish. Reminds me of Yeats Stolen Child.
