    Ciao! I liked the simple, but sweet language you wrote this in. I have very few objections, namely the title: it comes across as ironic. Shrill is high–pitch and often ...

  • Poetry » Narrative, General Re: As the dust settles.

    Well... first off, you misspelled "their" in the second line. And your meter is a bit odd in places; try to keep your sentences even. Yes, this means having to ...

  • Short Story » General, General Re: Torture

    Well, it's decent. I'd say that it really only started to weaken towards the end. When you mention the "horrified" crowd, it doesn't feel effective because you had to tell ...

  • Short Story » General, General Re: Urban De Sauveterre: Dance With the City, Eat Your Own Flesh

    Wow. This was fascinating to read, enigmatic and provocative to the imagination. I think you have a great start, but I think you should tweak a few places. Comments: 1) ...

  • Poetry » Narrative, General Re: Just call me Sigurd.

    I gave it a "like it" because your imagery was excellent: it really came across as vivid, not mental gymnastics to imagine, but still beautifully creative and surprising at the ...

  • Poetry » Narrative, General Re: Darkness I

    Well... there were some awkward moments. It was interesting, certainly, but I don't think it needed to be so heavily peppered with cliches as it did. That first line? Dancing ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: Sixteen Winters

    Greetings, salutations, a voice shouting hello: This was interesting. "Sixteen Winters" had a dry (in the positive way, not saturated with glib words), eloquent aura that really felt refreshing to ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: hart (pts 1 & 2)

    Both poems have fantastic descriptions, reminiscent of Faulkner with his imagery that is so vivid in the mind. I do, however, agree with Pantalid's comment about how you give us ...

  • Poetry » Narrative, General Re: They Paved the Way

    Hello! I'd like to begin by saying that in terms of quality, this was decent. I didn't see any missing elements (for example, descriptions without an idea), and it wasn't ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: suicidal ideation

    This was very good. What I liked the most was even though "suicidal ideation" was saturated with descriptions, they are not the static sort, not at all still life. These ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: The isolated

    I agree with Kamas: you need a bit more of an idea to drive the poem. In short, what is its point? You have a lot of potential here, with ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: deceased mind.

    Okay. The poem was fairly decent, at least in terms of vocabulary choice and rhyme scheme/meter. However, the theme "disease of the self", though explored in interesting, intricate phrases, never ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Cyber Love: A Villanelle

    Aww, it was so sweet! This shall be a brief review (homework, argh!), but the two nice lines, "worlds and websites" (euphonious, even better) and "black text and electronic light" ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Dead Season

    I really enjoyed reading this. The cold, crisp descriptions were quite nice; I also found it interesting that you ended the poem with a final, brief line about the city, ...

  • Poetry » Narrative, General Re: Unca Steve

    Well, your little explanation blurb at the beginning kind of gave it away, but the suspense was still strong. "Hope you like it!" is awkward when the poem is about ...
