You have a great writing style.

Oh, this reminds me about when I went to Cape May and got saltwater taffy... you made me happy. I'm a Jersey girl myself. :)

Wow, I love the descriptions of this poem! You took natural and rather simple, common imagery and transformed it into a wonderful poem. 'lemon drop lights' and 'buckets of edible color' really caught my attention. It made the reader feel like they were there. I could almost taste the caramel and candy myself! (Now I actually want some, darnit...hehe)

To sum it up: Amazing. The ending was great. ('it was better than a postcard...') You have a knack for words portraying what you mean and imbuing the 5 senses right into your poem. It just seems so natural for you!

PS: Thanks for your review, and I am loving your pen name. :) Very sweet - literally!

Squee.

Fucking, squee.

I swear, besides gushing over how cute and positivly unique it was - describing the sense on different bodyparts, who da thunk? -, plus it was about my home - New Jersey coast, I presume, if not, I am an idiot - so it's a given that I immensly enjoyed this. Its cute, filled with imagery and just adorable; I love the opening line, how it feels so reminiscent, like this is all a dream, and how strong every other line it afterwords - it teases you, really, with that memory.

It really is beautiful and I love the way it is written; it really is undeniably cute.

The imagery reminds me of one summer evening I spent in a small town on the Atlantic. I really like it.

Ha! I know who you are...Raspberry Twirl, I knew i recognized this poem from somewhere. Any ways, good imagery, I could really feel like I wasm there! Keep writing... : )!
Chandra-Moon chapter 1 . 5/13/2006
This is a good, strong poem. Well written, clear, original. Just good writing.

Just to be annoying, though:"The taste of the Atlantic coast between my toes."Maybe it's just me, but tasting stuff between your toes? Yuck. Inadvertent meaning, probably, but that's what I pictured.

I think this could be made more detail, and more capturing. Again, this poem is very promising, and good, but I think it could be even better if it was a bit more specificly written.

I liked the last line very much.
