    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 ...

    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, ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: The Needy Decomposer

    Well, the poem itself is certainly (de)composed well. Some quick notes on things that jumped out: - "much" in the second line does not particularly work; grammatically it is fine, ...

    'spolding' ... might as well have said 'smouldering,' ya know, or 'smoulding' if you were determined to have the fake word. Okay poem otherwise. A few things jumped out as ...

  • Poetry » Narrative, General Re: Streams (New Version)

    Lovely. The comma in the third line needs to go, methinks. But otherwise I whole-heartedly approve of the addition of punctuation. Although a piece so much about flow might well ...

  • Poetry » Narrative, General Re: Oh How It Grows Weary

    This was fairly nice, but not perfect. Okay, review time. The extension of his arm split the air in two, filling itself with a lot less than that of pride. ...

  • Poetry » Narrative, General Re: First Impressions of Madness

    Nice. First off, grammar slips are plentiful throughout, and they really distracted me from reading what is an otherwise gorgeously-constructed piece. Go through and seek them out, eliminate them, and

  • Poetry » Narrative, General Re: The Silent Dancer

    This was neat. The title is a bit too serious for my tastes, considering your tone and subject matter. But, I can't think of many silly ways to say "Silent ...

  • Poetry » Narrative, General Re: Cleaning Us Up

    Good-looking poem. Now first thing, I don't think you needed an explanation at all down there after the poem, and certainly not such a detailed one. We readers appreciate figuring ...

  • Poetry » Narrative, General Re: This Faucet is on the Fritz

    I enjoyed this poem. Rhyme/repetition, as well as simplicity, in the first stanza really brought the reader into the idea-world of this leaky/flawed faucet. Second stanza, I do feel the ...

    Cool piece. Quick review from TheEstimableEelz incoming. Your idea is good, nothing special - but you make it great with the words you use to back it up in writing. ...

  • Poetry » Narrative, General Re: Evidence Has a Story

    Thoroughly enjoyable. Amazing tone work - it portrayed serious bits when it had to, but man does it sounds Seuss-ian (major compliment, in case that was unclear)! That said, the ...

  • Poetry » Narrative, General Re: Hell plays with Heaven

    Well, that was nice. I must admit, the title is misleading. It led me very much to believe that some literal game would be occurring. Not that what you actually ...

    Whee!- another pretty poem by Persy. :) Gonna try to give a legitimate review here, so... here goes. The weakest bit of this was the choice of line breaks. Thoughts ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Death

    Well, this was fun. DEATH speaking about death... great topic. And you pulled it off fairly well. DEATH here has a consistent tone very similar to things I have read ...
