Hello, This is one of the more mature poems I've read on YWS, despite its conciseness and simplicity. You use simile very well, and your structure compliments your poem well. ...

Hello, I cannot really comment on the poem aesthetically, as you appear to be a much more direct poet than I. I tend to bury what I'm saying in symbols ...

Hey there, Maven529! It's Q the Solemn here for a review. Wow! What a disturbingly ruthless and uncannily horrifying tale you've spun with this one. It was so raw and ...

Hey there, Soulkana! It's Quenterino, dropping in to give your poem a review. Before I begin the actual review, I feel I should point out a small nitpick. In line ...
