  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Snowflakes from Erebus

    Hi Galerius - I think I have read this poem too many times. I dreamed of it recently. That is the downfall of a photographic memory and an insatiable curiosity. ...

    Hi Kylan - I wondered when I would get to review a fiction piece of yours. I don't think I have, so far - although I have read pieces. Revenant ...

  • Short Story » General, General Re: Lonely Road

    I'm going to give this a detailed, specific review first, and then talk about the bigger picture. I think I'll just do this in the order the story is told, ...

  • Short Story » General, General Re: Making Sandwiches

    This is primarily a humorous piece again, all monologue, so I can hardly give it a proper review. Actually, I found this rather creepy - not at all funny like ...

    *cough cough* Remind me what the point of this is? You hate Adobe Reader. Fine. We get that from the first couple of lines. That's a statement, not a poem. ...

    Tim - I will begin with the story you want to convey: that of a boy dead by (lung cancer, I assume, from) smoking. Firstly, what emotion do you want ...

    I certainly appreciate that you are aiming for greater overall coherency in this poem in terms of interweaving your ideas. I must say, you have not let your images run ...

  • Poetry » Narrative, General Re: Abracadabra (Edited)

    Since this is for a contest and since this is a poem, I'm going to approach it a little differently. I'm all for the content-as-well-as-style type of reviewing, and I ...

    Hey! I skim read the third chapter, and from what I can tell, it's looking much neater now. Good work! I just happened to notice one thing (and remind me ...
