Love it. Very simple but very much pleasant and interesting, also easy to relate to. Nice work!

hello. here is yet again another prezzie from the review marathon for your awesomeness.
I really liked the concept of this poem. The last line was really powerful. The whole thing was very creative.(Shakespeare is just awesome) hehe.
I just have a slight issue with the first rhyme with "love" and "dove". That rhyme is used too often. I know it's hard to find something that rhymes with dove and such though...i don't know the rhyme just bugs me. But it didn't bug me enough to dislike the poem:)

You've probably got many reviews just like this one, but oh well. I love the contrast between doves and ravens (white/black). I also see what you mean of the difference between dreams and reality. You can dream of love and happiness, but that's all it is. A dream. Yet, it's the only place you can feel love, so it's good. Short, simple, but an awesome poem nonetheless.

love the rhyme and emotion here~~love it!

ahh, shakespeare, a man who really knew the importance of dreams. have you read The Sandman graphic novels by Neil Gaiman? That's neither here nor that but I do feel this is an efficient poem, which is delightful as I know verbosity is easy; it's concision that is difficult. (case in point, this review)

Thank you for spreading the Review Love during RM! Here is your reward, courtesy of Mini-Mod.

I love the simplicity of this poem. AABB. Not overworked or complicated. This really lets the meanign shine through. I also liked the sad and almost ironic tone of the piece. The contrast between the two pairs(night/dove and day/raven) are really strong. I enjoyed this :)

Heya Sparkles! This review has been gifted upon you by Karas, because she guessed my lie in the RG April fools day comp.

I really like the simplicity of this piece, the imagary used is wonderfully effective and emotive. Snow white and pitch black, these two phrases work really well in jaxtapotistion with each other and I love it.
*totally favs*

Wow, this poem is complex within it's simplicity. Just those four small lines carry huge impact; especially the last line. It seems like you've gotten a multitude of praises for this short little poem, but to tell you, you deserve it. Very nice. -Jessi

hey, it's short, but GOOD!

This rocks! I love it!

*smiles wryly*

Okay. Many people have already told you how /wonderful/ this poem is. I like the short length of it. I like the truth in it being explained so simply and clearly. And yeah, playing with the format might've made some words stick out more and be more overall effective, so I agree with what's-his-face who said that on the review page. But I can /identify/ with this. And for that, you have a darn good poem here! ;D

Alright, I'll have to be quite honest with you here. Seeing as how most of your previous reviewers has praised you with accolades, I'm here to do just the opposite and give some constructive criticism. The poem itself was short, so there's really nothing I can take away from it. But I can tell you that it doesn't really do much for me as a reader. The reason being is that I find the shorter the length of the poem, the more moving it has to be and it didn't really do that for me. I mean it's cool that you took influence from Shakespeare's work and all but I don't think it's in context with his stuff. Another thing that picked at me was the lack of style within the poem. There was no specific style of writing this poem (i.e. old english, the way your influence wrote his poems) and I mean even with words long enough only for four lines, do I feel that you could have done a lot more to the poem visually. Perhaps it may just be personal bias on my part but try using italics, bold and underline if you have to. Just try something that'll get the reader to really concentrate on a certain aspect of the poem. Now that's not to say that the poem wasn't 'insightful' or anything but I just wished that you played around with certain aspects of the poem. (Formatting, style being the two most points I stress upon) Thank you for the short, but enjoyable read.

8 in one weekend is pretty impressive! great writing. very descriptive even when so short! lovely!

Simple and short.
Yet it speaks a thousand lines in my mind.
It's lovely, seriously.

Carries a lot of weight, for a simple piece. I wish it were longer but I like to indulge in my feelings ^_^ lol
