    Wonderful poem. The tale relayed is classical and simple (seems to be the tale of Helios' son Phaëtōn), yet none the less well-told for it. Great line breaks, and the ...

    Nice!- about as well as one can manage with those rigid forms teachers so like in high school English. Just a few grammatical 'corrections', since your teacher will probably nitpick ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: Nonsense Smile

    I like this - there is not nearly enough (good) nonsensical writing on this site. That said, some opinionated advice: - If you're going to write a nonsense poem, it ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: Leaves

    Awesome poem! I disagree with the previous posters, I think you should leave in 'petite' -- the poem flows better with a 2-syllable word in there, and 'petite' is underused, ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: Pain

    Your pacing is good and consistent - the reader doesn't have to pause awkwardly anywhere. The rhyme scheme is simple, but it works well. =] However... not to be mean, ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: 1.2 miles to lake

    I like the language you're using here, but I feel like the poem thinks of itself as cleverer than it really is. You have elements that I have seen and ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: Drunk Driving

    Generic subject+approach, I'm afraid. However, the diction is good. A few grammatical errors here and there, but I think you could actually add more to represent the speaker being really ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: Guess What I Am

    Seems interesting... my guess for the title question is unwanted pregnancy for the 'you'. First, small grammatical corrections. You, everywhere; there were only a few places you weren’t. And you ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: True Love

    Nicely done! Certainly much better than what I expected from the title, and not nearly as cliche. - The main thing is that you overuse question marks. I understand why ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: The Things You Never Knew

    Nice poem. Kind of cliche, but that's fine from time to time as long as you try to have a fresh perspective. Your site mentions that you played piano for ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: Confessions

    Great poem. Wonderful build-up - at first it seems like two people together, talking back and forth, in a way that would commonly imply an impending break-up. Instead, the last ...

  • Poetry » Narrative, General Re: Through the Looking Glass

    Neat little poem. Hoping to find adventure - - Maybe use a comma instead of the dash, but definitely some sort of short pause is needed. Until I gave up ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: Heartstrings

    Oddly enough, I wrote a poem with the same title a year or two back (since changed simply to Strings , heh). Though, yours is nicer. I love the "sinister ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: The Insomniacs Dream

    Interesting poem. First, just a minor grammatical correction: from the insomniac ' s dream. I like how the third stanza suddenly has consistently longer lines than the rest of the ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: The Orchard

    I love the poem's tone - it feels detached from but at the same time intricately connected to its subject, as though the connection allows for more objectivity rather than ...
