Re: Writer's Block (Revision 1)
Writers Block is a tricky topic to pull off without being cliched, and I will give you some points for originality. Overall, however, this poem fails insofar as it offers ...

Re: Weirdo
The idea is interesting; a fresh slant on an old and rather cliched theme. Unfortunately, though you start out well, the quality deteriorates towards the end. I think it would ...

Re: The Princess In You
Ooh, Nate reviewed this :D Feel special, lol. I agree with what he says about proofreading; it's important before you post to make your work as error free as possible. ...

Re: Same old story
The idea of romance being "the same old story" is interesting and could lead to some fascinating places. Sadly, while you promise so much, you never actually go anywhere with ...

Re: Music of the planets.
Mmm. As a poem, this does very little for me. The antiquated language obscures more than it clarifies, in my opinion. Perhaps you could work on that. Oh, and I ...

Re: Colour of the leaves
Was there a purpose to this poem at all? Because I'm not getting it. Yes, leaves can turn beautiful colours and yes, that can make a great topic for a ...

Re: [deleted]
Wow. I really liked this - especially the second stanza. I think it was the "acrobat-fell" idea that really hooked me, though I'm not sure why. One little nitpick; I'd ...

Re: Lonely Child
The idea was good, but it could have been expressed more strongly. If I were you, I'd take the concept of "in the eye of the war" and perhaps build ...
