but i can't be because i loved this.

except for the use of slide twice. but if you fixed that, this would be very excellent.

i liked the non use of caps. a man after my own heart there.


I agree, the two 'slides' NEED to go. The were most annoying. But I LOVE this. Great work.

The other two....eh. Not so much.The first two sentences flow all right, but then the thrid sentence talks about holding your breath...after getting into the fresh air? Why? Then the last sentence in the third stanza doesn't seem to fit at all. You talk about air and clouds and breath...then Atlatis? no sense.


Yeh. I don't like that stanza. The first two sentences were obviously just referring to dreaming for once, and then the third, while it looks completely wrong to the former, was trying to say that people never let themselves go. "You" would hold your breath rather than breath the fresh air. Eek, the last line about Atlantis was horrible. I need to re-do this stanza. Atlantis is suppposedly underwater so it links in with the holding of your breath and chasing dreams. But that was bad.

Thanks everyone. I'll change slide as well.

Nice. very nice. Best one I've read so far today. But still, I must critique.

The first two stanza's...just...wow. I adore the imagery and the sense of almost...euphoric despair.

The other two....eh. Not so much.The first two sentences flow all right, but then the thrid sentence talks about holding your breath...after getting into the fresh air? Why? Then the last sentence in the third stanza doesn't seem to fit at all. You talk about air and clouds and breath...then Atlatis? no sense.

Last stanza, you used slide twice, one line right after the other. Find another word please. But I love that last line, even though you need to capitalize Jesus. I know you don't use any punctuation in this piece, but I think it would make some emphasis on that last point.



Is anyone else desperately waiting to see themselves in the quote gen?
