cow 9/25/10 . chapter 1 Hey poo I like the entire feel of this piece! It feels so heavy yet, it feels so free. I love the use of "tuning an empty guitar', cause I know how frustrated you get when you tune them ;D. It feels so connected to that feeling where you couldn't get somewhere yet it's so close, but in this context its an empty one and that expression is so suited! I also love "you never know where you are until you are too far", the way it rhymes with the first verse gives it such a nice flow and it's amazing how it gives you that sense of realisation. It gives you a sense were you feel so lost but yet you know where you're supposed to be heading! I love how you used balloons and kites, and the bit where you "released" and "cut the strings" has such a vividness behind it and really materializes the idea of letting go of something/letting something free. And its followed by "lets paint this rainbow in white", which feels like "lets start over" and white's one of your favourite colours! I love the reference to strings again, it feels connected with the empty guitar and balloons, but it feels like severed relationships where you really waant to repair. |
wo bu ai ni le 1/30/10 . chapter 1Reminded me of James Morrison's song xD There are layers of extended metaphors in the poem & I like you you found a common point to all of them. I especially like the last line, where the kite is gone & there is only the souvenir to remind you of things past. |
gone4good 12/31/09 . chapter 1I think this is your most beautiful poem. May all your dreams come true. "Duncan" |
a silenced revolution 12/30/09 . chapter 1emotional and honest. nice simile with the guitar. my favourite line is "Let's paint this rainbow in white." visual & conceptually intriguing. |
Aurora Corona 4/24/09 . chapter 1'Fulfilling those promises is like tuning an empty guitar.' This line was gorgs :) omg, you're good at both chinese and english!
