 scarlet stars 2009-04-01 . chapter 1Oh, I liked this one. How obscure and lovely. I like the form. There are just some punctuation problems in this. Take a look at how I would punctuate this section of the poem:
"she remembers an advice:
to just go and do it,
but it’s not true anymore."
I would also take out the "in" located in the final stanza.
The word choice could be improved, but I really like the concept and questioning of the girl in the poem. Nice. |
 simpleplan13 2009-01-05 . chapter 1"she remembers an advice"... the phrasing an advice sounds really awkward. I think the advice would be better
I have to say though I didn't really like that stanza. The bolding seemed a bit amateurish and it just wasn't as poetic or powerful as the reast of the piece.
That said, I really like the title, it's interesting and definitely makes you want to read. I like the beginning too it asks some really great questions. The ending is great too. Definitely leaves the reader wondering. |
 Kusje 2008-12-28 . chapter 1Lovely, as always.
Psychological misunderstandings are always something of interest when I read your works. I am always interested in the psychological and mental things of the mind, and how people react to it. But I'm glad to see edge in your works too :-)
It's been a while! XD every time I try to come back on here, I always end up taking very long breaks again haha. |
 Thoughtful Silence 2008-12-09 . chapter 1This was good. It has a very nice 'fairytale-esque' quality to it, as if this poem is only the introduction to a larger story, which I liked. The rhythm is well-crafted too, reflecting this quality.
I love the first three lines of the last stanza, it is a perfect image. I'm not too sure about the 'or...?' though, I mean, I can appreciate what it achieves but something about didn't seem to fit as an ending to a poem. But thats probably just personal preference.
The format is... okay. A problem I see in a lot of poems is the over abundance of italics and such, rendering their use obselete. And whilst this poem doesn't overuse them, for so short a space it seems... packed... if you know what I mean.
Only other thing I noticed was that 'she remembers an advice'... 'an advice' doesn't make sense to me.
Anyways, keep up the good work.

 Manuel Fajar 2008-12-09 . chapter 1That carriage black will come on any day
Now sooner than once I would have ordained.
A massive sun only a billion years,—
Just near a century for puny man.
Each moment’s goblet is replete with fey
In celebration of mystery’s reign.
As near stark precipice fate draws,— no tears ;
In living fully life there’s nothing wan. |
