  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: Diving for Pearls

    This is fabulous! The rhyme scheme and the pentameter work wonders on any poem, but this had a good subject to go with, as well as some beautiful descriptions. Really ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: Clocks

    First off I think this is a terrific poem. The characters have depth to them, there's movement, you start off in one place and end in another. Really good. I ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: Drowning

    There are some good specific images in the first and last stanzas. I think this would be more powerful if it were expanded with details about the people, particularly the ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: I wanna be a poet

    I liked the idea, but it was a little long. I actually didn't mind the repetition - it sort of reminded me of the poem "The Leader" by Roger McGough. ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: The Girl Whose Mouth Moves Full Speed, No Traffic Lights

    I loved this - it's really wonderful. The line about the mouth is great. I'd rework the title, so it doesn't give away the best line of the poem, and ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: Real Beauty

    I like the line Her feet are her Only friend. Much of the rest of the poem was unoriginal, but that line was quite nice. What you need here are ...

  • Poetry » Narrative, General Re: A Simple Prayer

    I agree. The single best way to become a better poet is to read more poetry. This was good, especially for a first poem. You have a really interesting idea ...

  • Short Story » General, General Re: The Something Beneath the Stairs, No. 1

    I love the way you describe things, like the boy, or the blood from his cut. (I think there may be a typo in that sentence though - did you ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: Yelp

    It works as a nonsense poem, though I was wondering what a 'nat' was? Oh, and 'ran' should be 'run' over... I guess I'm not really sure what to make ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: RAIN, RAIN-GO AWAY!

    This is definitely getting somewhere, but it needs work. Read it aloud and get the rhythm you want, set up its structure, decide whether you want it to rhyme or ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: My Random, bored haikus

    Definitely random. Careful on your syllable counts - there were a bunch of six-syllable lines in there (namely the first and fifth ones). I didn't mind them (they were, after ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: Haikus

    I liked these a lot, especially the first and the last ones, and the ink one. I was put off a bit by the second 'now' in the last one, ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: the troubles ashore

    Punctuation would be nice here. It's ok (except for the smileys), but the single line words are weak and don't add much. I like the last line, but the rest ...

  • Poetry » Narrative, General Re: Run Rabbit

    The first line and the last line are the only parts that really affected me. Try to spruce up the middle bits some more. Do you know that song, the ...

    Can't help but notice you're posting a lot recently. That's fine, but just keep in mind that poetry belongs to a world that values quality over quantity. I'm not saying ...
