  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: Wanting to end it all

    DreamWalker pretty much nailed it. Poetry is an art in itself. It is an art that yearns to be explored, dissected, experimented with. It is an art that craves metaphor; ...

    Joshua! Sorry it's taken me so long. I've been busy, what with school starting up and all. This was a very intriguing story. Your grammar and phrasing could be touched ...

    Here as requested! I think a nitpick review will serve my purposes best here. I killed a lamb last week. See, you say this, and it's a great first sentence ...
