    Your story reads like an epic, Marshall. I quite enjoyed Bido's combination of pluck and reflection, and how he is able to respond dynamically to all the situations he is ...

  • Poetry » General, General Re: Day Dreams

    Short, simple, and effective in getting emotion across, but the understanding is jumbled, if you understand what I mean. There isn't a clear order to the message, and the grammar ...

    Yay! Now I can read your story whenever I want! The prophecy does seem complicated... But it doesn't seem that bad. Why do the black swans' eyes glow, though? I ...

  • Poetry » Realistic, Humor Re: clean up on employee 646773

    Just on first glance, I would recommend using capitalization. The line breaks also feel a bit awkward at times; for instance I'd put "(nine? it's in the top ten.)" on ...

  • Poetry » Literature, Historical Fiction Re: Tennessee Mountain Water

    Very nice poem. I especially enjoyed the alteration between concrete and AABB rhyming poetry, although the first stanza didn't rhyme. The visual impact is stunning, but I'm sure not many ...

    The story was, overall, amazing, especially with the amount of research you seem to have put into it, but it could use a few tweaks. When you first brought up ...
