 Jesse the Storyteller 2008-12-27 . chapter 1Hmm... I do not understand the significance of the first line. I like that you didn't capitalize every line in this poem. I'll pretend it's because of my insistence. Hahaha.
I definitely love the contrast and the words you used to show that contrast - between the animal and you. They are great images, very original. I wish I knew what coruscations meant.
My favourite image in this is "their plastic life-stories off the glass of you." because plastic and glass are both valueless and not lasting, but glass has a greater integrity. Plus, it's a literal image in the fact that there is glass in between them and it. :P
Your poems are awesome. I wish I had been reading them all along (*feels like a jerk*). When I have more time I will tackle your stories. :)

 simpleplan13 2008-09-04 . chapter 1The phrasing of the first two lines confused me a bit. It also seemed odd that the second line ending with a period, but you didn't capitalize the third line, since you did capitalize the fourth.
Interesting piece, the descriptions were really unique. Like "plastic life-stores" and "alive skin." I also like the ending, less abstract than the rest of the piece. Nicely done. |
 no.peace.los.angeles 2008-08-24 . chapter 1Oh, how gorgeous. I love "blue coruscations, not naked bones." I think it's the whole naked thing. Nudity just appeals to me. And the line after is just guh, too - "While I pace in my alive skin." Wow. So beautiful. Keep writing! :) |
 Literate Barbarian 2008-08-21 . chapter 1Strangely, my favorite part is the summary. For some reason, I can't bring myself to not read anything that specifically claims to not be about dinosaurs. The metaphor is nice, but I find it difficult to read all of it without pausing to wonder at things like "alive skin" instead of living skin. Maybe it's because I don't read that much poetry, but something about the rhythm seems slightly off to me (unless it's just me misunderstanding the rhythm). Final two lines grab me at the end though. |
 Isca 2008-08-21 . chapter 1"Blue coruscations, not naked bones." Brilliant line & imagery.
The last to lines were beautifully sorrowful. This was a very unique poem about friendship, and I really enjoyed reading it! :) |
