 Faithless Juliet 2009-09-05 . chapter 1This one came across as very biblical to me. I understand your underlying message of fairytales but the beginning imagery about sleeping with her legs wide was very ‘of another time.’ Or maybe that’s just me.
I like your ending. The poem doesn’t feel wholly finished, but your conclusion of she’s not finished, made the poem feel more done. I guess what I’m trying to say is you have a multifaceted (and transcendentalistic) poem on your hands here, and like a real-life person, it’s not perfect. And, I think you were going for that, or again, it might be just me. I really enjoyed this one, keep up the good work.
Much love,
Juliet.
