 Isca 2009-05-05 . chapter 1To be honest, E.B., I never knew you were such a romantic man, but I love your love poems--they're so honest and realistic. You don't try to explain love--you let it have its freedom while still allowing the reader to understand the grace involved in such an emotion. The 'whoosh' owl imagery, placed neatly beside the meteor streak, was just phenomenal. :) |
 Louis Denair 2009-05-05 . chapter 1I've noticed that your romance/love poems are the most passionate and vivid and perhaps even the best of the best in your repertoire. This, however, is all the greater in the way two lovers can be interpreted in multiple ways, even shuffling the idea of romantic love away to replace it with ideas of unity, friendship etc. The way they witness the gradual decline of their world, the final setting of the sun and the withering of the plants can imply so many things and the melancholy tone set throughout the piece is really stunning, baffling the reader with a suprisingly stoical attitude. The writing is so colorful: green sighing plants, colors fading away, sun sinking beyond; and the final statement that words have no weight is striking and thought-provoking. I really really liked this one, it kept me reading on breathlessly from beginning to end with ever building anticipation. |
