    sucked on the pillow like a teat? Does he think its a marshmallow? Please. Mostly I think you'd benefit from condensation. I don't understand the Drake reference. Other then that ...

  • Lyric Poetry Re: Broken

    cliche: learn to avoid it. This piece is literally devoid of all sensory detail. I think that is what you should focus on when writing new pieces: sensory detail, lines ...

  • General Fiction Novels Re: Carry Me Chapter 1

    okay, so: This is my novel(la), it is tentatively titled: Carry Me. The first part is titled "I-70, I-76, I I-80" I haven't decided whether or not there's going to ...

  • Narrative Poetry Re: Virginia Slime

    preachy and forgettable. there are some nice moments, like the pudding cup thing, but other then that, I'd start over. I want more sensory details, less outright DRAMA. That's boring, ...

  • Other Poetry Re: The Memory

    hmmmmmmm. Seems like some sort of exercise in word-pairing. Here are a few: memory-lights: I didn't like this (especially because the word before it is 'antiquated' retrospect-clouds: This was better ...

  • Other Poetry Re: The Possibility Of Fireflies

    A good attempt, but you sink yourself with too many unnecessary words... and some poor word choices. I think its too long, you should condense, or focus on things that ...

  • Narrative Poetry Re: Theseus and the Minotaur

    Oh look, a retelling of a myth in (almost) epic poem format with (struggling) meter and (somewhat forced) rhyme. Like an acoustic cover of Bob Dylan, this lacks imagination. Also, ...

  • Lyric Poetry Re: Chicken Scratch

    This is okay. I mean what you've done here is novel, but it just isn't that interesting. I think you'd need some more... like why does this matter. Whose handwriting ...

  • Dramatic Poetry Re: I can see you.

    I don't like the questions, they don't work. The sensory detail is sparse but what there is, is harsh. Its harsh, burning light. It just seems cliche to me. Lovers ...

    the strongest part of this is the last line, this poem is worth fixing just for that. but literally nothing else worked for me. I found the angels boring, the ...
