    *blinks* *blinks again* ...That's it? Oy. All right. First of all, the first word of the second line should be "are" as you have two nouns preceding it. "Love and ...

    HOOOOKAY. So the critique to end all critiques. Yes, I am going to tackle all three chapters--plus prologue--in one post. Suicidal? I prefer to think of it as devoted. Your ...

    Oo I'm going to be critiquing a lot of creepy poetry for this next month, aren't I? :lol: I actually think this poem flows better than child, and while, as ...

    As promised, a critique! I have to admit, when I first began reading this I did a sort of mental rolling of the eyes accompanied by a here-we-go-again . While ...

    Actually, Snoink, it seemed to me like it was told in reverse order... from Allen's last death to his first. Is that right, smaur? In any event, I really liked ...

    I'm not sure that normally I would enjoy this kind of poem, but given the circumstances behind it--and how well I can relate--I found it incredibly (almost freakishly) accurate. I'm ...

    I have to say, the second stanza is probably one of the most graceful, evocative descriptions of city life that I've read yet--and not just on this site. My only ...

    I'm not sure there was a single part of this poem that wasn't distressingly cliched--not even the main message. If you'd used an interesting, varied vocabulary then... no, it still ...
