abuseat first i was apprehensive at reading this in block form, but it works perfectly. sometimes poem/prose take on a form of their own, and the block form works well. it is really beautifully written and each word seems effortless. I feel like you flowed through this without having to think twice, because thats just how talented you really are.

abuseI loved this. It's so descriptive and I could completely imagine the scene as the prose continued. I haven't seen this format before much but I think it was definitely a success. Wonderfully vivid!

abuseTo be honest, this feels much more prosaic than poetic. I know it's a hard line to tread but this reads like an prose exercise in which you merely explored a scene using in-depth imagery.

It's hard to mimic poetic language in a prose structure but I think you could condense this a little and inject more of a poetic voice into it, you might tip the balance from prosaic to poetic.

I know it's difficult because I've tried to do the same before and once took about eight drafts to get the right balance.

Good luck,
Midnight

abuseBeautiful descriptions and choice of words.
I notice that you have a couple of longer sentences, and I like how you still make them flow and not sound choppy. That can be difficult to do sometimes, and I had no trouble keeping up with this.

The last sentence is breathtaking but sad.
Powerful ending.

abuseBravo! Good job with the imagery in this, I could see the pathway like you described it. I especially liked the way you described the sea glass. Very nice work.
