  • Novel / Chapter » General, General Re: Potato in the Orchard - Chapter 2 /P

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: why?

    A question poem! [I think someone wrote an article about this actually; let me know if you would like me to hunt it down for you]. I don't really care ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: Significant Figures

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: Signature, or "Abandon All Hope"

    In all, it seems too... rigid. Like you took a few sentences and line-broke them: esp. dialogue tags after the quote. I mean, it's done, but here it just seems ...
