Hello,
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment on 'The dead lady in the kitchen'. Your insightful comments and kind words mean a great deal. In particular, your feedback regarding the similarities in names is excellent, and reflecting back on the story I totally see what you mean!
If you ever want me to critique your work please don't hesitate to ask!
Regards,
Ben

I just think the comments on my work "Love in a Glorious Pyre" are funny because the words that some of the readers don't understand are words I literally learned from my HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR LEVEL SAT vocabulary list. There's a difference between the reader being a thirteen-year old with preliminary poetic device techniques and a twenty-five year old with a limited vocabulary.

There's a difference between the narrator trying to sound "too smart" and the audience's inability to understand

Willard It's a valid critique.

Vervain Well, most people would suggest a poet use simpler* language when it's obvious they're stretching their vocabulary for the sake of nothing but using big words, or if they miss out on the nuances of the words they use in their fervor for syllabic impression. Complex language isn't automatically good, and simple language isn't automatically bad—especially when it comes to art forms such as poetry, where every little meaning counts immensely towards the finished work.

I finally wrote something again. It's up in my unsorted and named "Fire Poker".

I've been too busy to write all year... but I feel like it's starting to slowly come back to me. Very slowly. But that's okay.

Thank you very much Nessa for your kind words on my poem! I guess it's only depressing to me because I'm the only one who knows what it's about. Anyways thanks for your review and if you ever need a review let me know
