  • Short Story » Romantic, General Re: Do you believe in me?: Prelude /P

    I like it, but I agree that the main character seems very arrogant, and that can get annoying to read about after a while. If he changes and fleshes-out a ...

  • Poetry » Narrative, General Re: The Revenge of The Raven

    Good ideas and all, but just work on the delivery. You do slip into cliches now and then, such as: His claws sharper than knives That's an extremely common simile. ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: mancunian reject

    I really like this, especially the personal style of the poem. The dedication and the conversational tone really adds to the interest. So good job there. The only thing I'm ...

  • Poetry » Narrative, General Re: Dying.... revised again...

    Work on the beginning. I agree with Chevy - the final three stanzas are brilliant. I like the tone of the poem, especially in those three stanzas. The first two ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: The darkness

    I liked it. You have interesting and comprehendable concepts and analogies. However, you sometimes slip into cliches, so be careful about that. For example... I know the darkness will swallow ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: I'm tired of that

    Show, don't tell. You've got something here that a lot of people can relate to, and that's great, but you have to leave the reader guessing to make the message ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: attempt to appear older (+13)

    There is a difference between choppiness and rawness and in this poem the two weren't really equal. The swearing is kind of unneccessary and seems more so because the poem ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: Cliff Edge (13+)

    Good concept. It's solid and understandable. But think...how often has the whole jumping off a cliff metaphor been used? I think you've put a new twist on it though, following ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: Refuse (perhaps 13+ due to imagery?)

    Yeah, the elipses need to be taken out. You also have some dodgy cliches which need to be reworked. You act like I'm invisible Someone else in shadow Someone you ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Shattered Dreams

    Good beginning, but it definitely lost the spark after the first few lines. Try to expand. Write it longer, and then condense it. I find that works well. You get ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: answer me (the stalker)

    I like it. There were maybe a few too many parenthesis but you pulled it off pretty well. Breaking it up into stanzas seems to be a suggestion, but I ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: Little Girl

    Take out the exclamation marks. One is okay but more than that and the poem starts to feel like a bit of a joke. I didn't like the rhyme. It ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: Something I Let Go Of

    Yeah, the first letter of each word being capatalised looks tacky. The rhyme scheme wasn't great; it just added to the cliche aspect. You have an okay concept, just try ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: A Scattering of Stars

    I like it, but I think you told the reader a bit too much. It would have been much more effective had you shown us what you meant, and the ...

  • Poetry » Narrative, General Re: The Jewels of the sky

    Good. You have a solid concept, but it does need a bit of reworking. The first stanza's a little weak. I stand and stare at the dark night sky a ...

Why should Caesar just get to stomp around like a giant while the rest of us try not to get smushed under his big feet? Brutus is just as cute as Caesar, right? Brutus is just as smart as Caesar, people totally like Brutus just as much as they like Caesar, and when did it become okay for one person to be the boss of everybody because that's not what Rome is about! We should totally just stab Caesar!
