    Who's - should be whose. Cut the second down the drain line, it's redundant. Keep it as salt is dumped. The transition to the family mom/dad is oo abrupt. Throught- ...

    I can feel the words and emotion here, but honestly its more a rant than it is a poem. The ideas aren't fleshed out, the imagery flat, and it's something ...

    This was suprisingly decent. I write alot of dialogue driven work and so I'm usually appalled at how bad and stilted alot of dialogue and char on this site are. ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: I was dreaming the night he died

    Honestly I felt the piece was overstuffed. You take an idea as cliched as seeing someone the night they died in dream and fill it with fluffly, lengthened imagery. Don't ...

  • Short Story » General, General Re: Unheard Screams- a 9/11 Memorial

    It's a decent piece, not a great one, and its subject helped the feature. You get many facts wring about the towers, the attack, you give us no real description ...
