The first single line stanza is, I assume, an attempt at emphasizing importance or depth or something of that sort--and it fails rather miserably, I'm afraid. The last single line ...

I disagree with the rhyming; I think this section, though not as brilliant as the first two, is solid and good. ^^ The only part that was a bit confusing ...

I agree with Clau's assertion that this is the weakest of the sections I've read thus far. The imagery, especially in the beginning, gives the feeling of "telling" rather than ...

Yet another beautiful installment in this little series. ^~ The only thing that gave me pause was: The vanguards gather, In rigid lines Pennants flying in a stiff breeze, As ...

I liked how you balanced the two sides of a war: the ideological aspect, as evidenced by the "battle of words" (and I loved the line, "In halls of marble, ...

Them blues are just all just the same, - Was there a reason for the double "just" here? Roll over Beethoven and just let me be. - All right, that ...

I really enjoyed this piece, Kel! I don't have too much time for an in-depth critique--technically I'm not even supposed to be on here while at work, lol--but I'll take ...

No time for an in-depth critique as I'm at work--I'll try to edit one in tonight when I get home. ^~ As it is, it works decently as a poem, ...

I think the only way to classify your writings is "disturbed (disturbing?) whimsy." This certainly fits well enough. :lol: Thanks for giving me something to giggle at during yet another ...

S1 Hail! to the uttermost fear in Time to the Great Wheel's turning. We sense the end drawing near as the sands of the sea begin burning. 1.1--"uttermost" should be ...

Note 1: it's "haiku." Spell it correctly and experienced readers will be more inclined to take you seriously. ;) Note 2: Don't double-post. If you think of something you want ...
