Reviews For: Unnerved
Faithless Juliet 2009-09-05 . chapter 1
This 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.

"Instead, a sad symphony which left her heart unnerved." I really like this line - the inclusion of music and sorrow truly move the reader. I also liked the way in which you combined common imagery (e.g. cooking in the kitchen) with striking words (e.g. unsatisfied and unanswered) - the mixture of everyday tasks with emotions really captivated the reader. :)
