    Hmmm. I think "mauling" is rather strong imagery, and it somewhat detracts from the focus of the poem. And while calling it to attention that water and oil don't barter ...

    This poem reminds me I should have followed you a while ago. Needless to say, good job.

    Similar to the situation in my response to "The Root of Homophobia: The Bible," what follows here is not a review. I am stunned. I sit, working my jaw, wondering ...

    I have constructed an image of myself, perhaps one shared by few others... that I am a harsh, objective reviewer. I am still an opinionated human being. But I believe ...

    Thank you. But you flatter me. I doubt, if you appreciated this piece, that you couldn't "ma[k]e something like this" yourself. It would not be this piece, sure. But that ...

    Goodness. I'm glad you... opposite of found it beautiful. It was inspired by the videogame "The Last of Us." It's a very graphic, no sugarcoatings game about the zombie apocalypse, ...

    I should not have been so harsh. And I appreciate your being so gracious as to respond and clarify. Yes, there was excessive swearing. But I consider that the personality ...

    It's about trees. It's about wind. It's about nothing, really. Perhaps that's the problem. It's a shame you didn't like it; I personally thought it quite nice. I don't mean ...

    Looking back on this review is strange. "A winsome job." What a strange conclusion. It is, nonetheless, still an excellent poem. My critiques seem foisted; bearing on the ocean, ignoring ...
