  • Other Poetry Re: Bring Back To Me

    I also like the repetition of the first lines in the last, and thought those repeated lines were the strongest of the poem. The middle bit, though, was full of... ...

  • Other Poetry Re: The Power of One

    There's nothing here, nothing concrete to connect to. You need a base, a metaphor if you want to go into the metaphysical, some imagery and description if it's about something ...

  • Other Poetry Re: Words, Words

    You have some great verbs here... "undulating", "taunting", "tempting", "itching", "dripping"... they're great, but it's too many verbs. The metaphor of words to waves is good, but you need to ...

  • Other Poetry Re: City of Bridges: A Postcard from Saskatoon

    I like the last line, and the idea of expecting surprise. And I love the title. One thing you might want to think about though is incorporating more imagery - ...

  • Lyric Poetry Re: Slow-motion

    Applause for your use of iambic pentameter: it's superb. I especially liked the way you got "fragility" to fit. The vocabulary was excellent also, and I love the line: stained ...

  • Lyric Poetry Re: If I could draft 3

    Wow, bubbles just said everything I wanted to say. This is a fine first attempt, and like all first attempts needs revision, but nonetheless is an important step. Keep writing! ...

  • Other Poetry Re: An Angel’s Entrance ( To Saqib With all my love)

    I agree with cadmium. The silly-sounding words as used here do not create humor, nor would humor fit with the emotion of the poem. "Never ever" does just sound childish, ...

  • Lyric Poetry Re: Nutrition Facts on a Cup of Good Cheer

    It's good. My suggestion would be to leave the last lines as they are. The "this" has to go there because it rhymes with shameless and nameless. I think those ...

    Coldplay is coming out of the trees oh yeah. Still kissing my heart, the bruise is a purple aura on my head. It scribbles away like the typo that starts ...

  • Other Poetry Re: Eat Your Vegetables

    Beautiful, but exceedingly difficult to follow. I love this bit: Wait until the sunrise bleeds across all of your dirty deeds. This light catches the silver eyes unblinking, dripping dew ...

  • Other Poetry Re: wednesday, 1.13 am, purple sky

    I actually thought the last line was the strongest part, for summing up the feeling i'm sure we've all had before with such brevity, and for taking the images and ...

  • Other Poetry Re: DRAGON

    Nice theme, and you told the story with images. That part's good. What I didn't like was that the rhythm was a bit chunky, the rhymes sometimes forced, and the ...

  • Other Poetry Re: Bully

    Yes, very cliched. The whole 'malice' in the eyes thing doesn't really makes sense... it wouldn't be malice coming from a coward. Malice indicates will, albeit will toward evil, but ...

  • Other Poetry Re: Freshly Brewed Tea For Two

    I like it, despite the peculiar style. I like the little bits and pieces of a person adding up to give us a detailed picture. It's like a police report ...

  • General Fiction Short Stories Re: My Grandmother's Quilt

    This is very good. Boni_Bee already pointed out any errors I'd found, so I won't repeat that. I like the length, and while the sentences could be revised, words here ...
