    This is really interesting. I love how you put forward the horse's persona. It's also effective how you make the poem circular by linking the end to the beginning, and ...

    I love this. It's very clever, and flows very well. It's also very original. Stanzas two and three were particularly witty, and the ending is very effective. I'm not sure ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Throat Muscles

    This flows well and the imagery is good. I especially like; "sour pills long fermenting in your sidestreet pockets", "Your hands flutter to stopper my thrashing veins, " and "splinted ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Winter Epiphany

    I really enjoyed this, as usual. I agree that the first two lines are too much. I think they're more telling than showing. I'd try to paint more of a ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: hope

    Rather than looking at how you're in pain, I'd try thinking about why you are, and describe the scenes. I like how you turn things around at the end; that ...

    Hi Turtle. Welcome to YWS. This flows well, and the ending is effective. I'd only use the refrain at the beginning and the end, as it gets a little tedious. ...

    Heehee. That was brilliant! I especially loved "Malfoy: Hey, you’re badder than I gave you credit for, Mud-Blood. Wanna go out on Saturday? We can grab a Firewhisky together at ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: War Observed

    The rhythm of this is hypnotic. I'd cut "when" and "and" from the first stanza.I love "rubble rings" and "vermin delegates". Your imagery is great. I'd change "man" to "men." ...

    I love the rythm of this. "Proud children tilt their blackened heads, limbs rustled by the breeze as sunlight dapples on red hems of petticoats, to their knees. Great laughter ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Billy and the Flowers

    I love it, but then, what else is new? The narrative voice is great, and has a sort of childishness about it which works effectively with the theme, the whole ...
