  • Poetry » Narrative, General Re: Camping

    I love camping! Anyway. I think you have limited yourself a great deal by using "you" as a subject. Because you don't have a defined subject, and must refer to ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: The Sun Rose

    I'm not a huge fan of this poem. Overall, I found the imagery to be redundant and not overly surprising. The idea of using flowers as a metaphorical construct is ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Shooting Heroin (14+ Perhaps)

    You know, I couldn't quite get into this poem. I didn't think it was badly written, and I think that your word choice and overall temperment during this piece is ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Confusion

    Yep, this is a cool little poem. I liked your cadence at the beginning a lot more than what you have at the end, although I think the measure is ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: I Run To You

    This is definitely a neat little poem. There are, however, a couple of things that I think you could change to improve this overall. I'm not sure if you are ...

  • Short Story » Action / Adventure, General Re: Bikers

    Okay, so you can see that this will need a little work. I think this is probably a rough draft, rather than something that you have really polished, so I'm ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: A Dog's Days

    This is cool! I can tell that a companion of the canine sort inspired this. I would like to see this pulled apart into stanzas, to make it a little ...

  • Other » General, General Re: What Happens When You Die Looking Into Your Killer's Eyes?

    Overall, this gives a neat impression, I would say. The contractions seem out of place, given that you have taken a more archaic setting and a more formal style of ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: Heroin Chic

    Your language use here is excellent. I do think that your subject is a little cliched, a little bit mainstream--and because you have chosen to produce a poem that is ...

  • Short Story » General, General Re: Killing Me

    This is an interesting approach to a common storyline, and I think your take here is definitely worth continuing with. One thing that bugged me a little was the abrasiveness ...

  • Poetry » Narrative, General Re: Baby Bird Dying (Edited)

    Hm. Your rhythm here is good, and I think you've got a compelling subject. It just leaves me wanting you to explore this a little more. You have the emotion ...

    I'm going to go through this grammatically first, with overall critique afterwards. =) Megan crawled through the yard hedge rapidly, her father ' s Swiss army knife in her mouth, ...

    Critiquing this bit-by-bit... Gavin’s eyes filled with water as a lonely tear drop ran down his freckled face. This image is terribly cliched, I think. The idea of a single ...
