    Hey there! Here to return the review favor. ;P A yellow flower, A rising sun, Morning breaking -- Summer ’s begun. The m-dash makes a bit more sense grammatically than ...

    This is an issue that doesn't affect only fanfiction, but all other types of fiction as well. That said, not everyone is into the action side of things; some people ...

    Not a bad beginning. :D Still, as with all first steps, there's improvements to be made. While it is impressive that you kept up with the rhyme, in places, it ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Bunch of Haikus

    I think most of the haiku could benefit from some more punctuation. The second haiku didn't flow as well as I think it could. I'd suggest revising the last two ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Inadequate

    First things first: is there, or is there not, a rhyme scheme? You start out sort of having one, then you have a rhyming couplet followed immediately after by a ...

    No apologetic glances. No time spent on unwarranted tears. Watch your spelling. I am wondering why there are periods at the end of every line. Grammatically it makes no sense. ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: The Rose

    The repetition in this is lovely, and the rhyme doesn't sound forced at all. From the first line, it had me hooked, and flowed wonderfully, for the most part. Also, ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: I am more of ink than solid stuff.

    This was just lovely, and there is nothing I can really see to crit, which is really great. :D I'm curious, though, why you used contractions for "see it," "in ...

    Very short, but I can really relate to this. I really hate saying goodbye. However, I'm wondering why you have every line ending in a comma. Poems, for the most ...
