    That's my favorite site for everything English grammar-related, and it also has information on how to cite sources and such. That said, TwistedMuffins already covered the punctuation, so I'll just ...

    Before I go into specifics, the first thing I'd like to mention is the formatting. I'm not sure why you broke this poem up into two-line stanzas, but it struck ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: Abyss of Broken Dreams

    Like craz33me, I'm wondering if you intended this poem to be formatted this way, or if the text editor ate your line breaks. If you did intend this poem to ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: As She Wakes

    The first thing I noticed straight-off: the capitalization of your lines is inconsistent. Sometimes you capitalize; sometimes you don't. How you present your poem has a considerable impact on how ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: Empty Soul Escape

    I'm seconding everything Lumi said, especially with respects to the firm foundation and flow issues. There's a genuineness, a genuineness that's quite brutal at times, to this poem that makes ...
