  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: The Decline

    "Decline" is repeated in the second line. It was too repetitive. I suggest rephrasing the poem so that there is no need to repeat "decline". "Whether slow and slipping, passing ...

  • Poetry » Narrative, General Re: Some Things Never Change.

    The first stanza was great. The rest of the poem, not so good. The sudden jump from "she" to "I" needs more of a visual cue. Adding in a section ...

  • Article / Essay » General, General Re: Life in the Gauntlet

    First thing I wondered: why are there chapter headings? Those are more features of a story than an essay. *name of public school removed to protect privacy* Next time, I ...

  • Poetry » Narrative, General Re: Russian Roulette

    You have a great story here, but (and it's a big but) it's hidden and almost ruined beneath the inconsistent rhyme and the bland imagery. The punctuation also doesn't help ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: untie me

    Punctuation. You need it. Right around the "I'm bored" line, my brain shut down and stopped trying to comprehend this poem. A lot of this was due to the lack ...

  • Short Story » General, General Re: Obsoletely Perfect

    525, 600 There should be no space after the comma. 525600 is one number; not 525 and 600, which is what the space after the comma makes it seem like ...
