  • Dramatic Poetry Re: At Night

    This was somewhat cool. This is a very, very simple poem, and that's good! I can see this being published in some good book of poems for children. You have ...

  • Other Poetry Re: old moon

    Certainly a good base for construction. Pronoun trouble: most of the pronouns I found very difficult to conclusively link back to a noun or nouns. Clarity is really hurt; also, ...

  • Lyric Poetry Re: The Needy Decomposer
