NanceXToo on Pathetic lill' me.. by clumseYdaiseY 31 Jan 2004, 12:12 PM
er...cleverdevice...it's only a dream certaintly should have an apostrophe. It's a contraction of "it is." And you forgot to mention that "tomorrow" is spelled wrong. :D Not a bad poem, though, clumsey.
NanceXToo on Of an Age Before by cleverdevice 31 Jan 2004, 12:08 PM
Not bad. Good imagery. Too many commas in S2.
NanceXToo on Stronger by devina 31 Jan 2004, 12:06 PM
This one's too generic, too. It needs to "show" more in order to back up what you're trying to say with it and "tell" less, unless you can tell it with more originality than that.
NanceXToo on It's something about you by devina 31 Jan 2004, 12:03 PM
Way too generic. This could be a Hallmark card. And probably should be.
NanceXToo on Alone Together by lynnkyle 31 Jan 2004, 12:01 PM
I like this poem. Although I don't feel like it really gets going until Stanza 5, which is my favorite, along with the ending stanza. The repetition of together etc. works really well in this piece.
NanceXToo on In love as in war by zodiac 31 Jan 2004, 11:44 AM
This is great. I really like this poem. A very bold concept, written well. Nice job!
NanceXToo on To Avalon by annabellee 31 Jan 2004, 11:42 AM
This is well-written (in an English/word usage kinda way). Personally, being into more contemporary type stuff, the content just doesn't do anything for me. But that's just personal preference, not really anything against your writing.
NanceXToo on Lonely Hearts by cjg 31 Jan 2004, 11:37 AM
This isn't bad. Of course, "lonely hearts" could be accused of being sort of a cliched phrase, and topic, but I kinda like what you did with it. Typo on lonely in L2, and I also think, in the same line, you could use a much more unique word than "smiles." "Hope at seventy beats per minute" is one of my favorite lines, as is "I flatline at midnight." I don't think you need to repeat lonely hearts at the end. Use something that implies it rather than outright saying it again.
NanceXToo on We are what we hold by somemorepoetry 31 Jan 2004, 11:35 AM
Not bad, either. It's pretty well written. For some reason, it's just not inspiring the emotion I think it's supposed to though. I'm kinda neutral on this one.
NanceXToo on Covers by sonawrote 31 Jan 2004, 11:32 AM
This is alright. The rhythm's good. But it's kind of...I don't know. Too generic, overall. I get no real vibe on the "I" or "you" portrayed here. They're kinda just cardboard cutouts. There's nothing that really gives you a unique voice. Oh, and "your looking" should be "you're looking"
NanceXToo on Hard Month by wlshepherd 31 Jan 2004, 11:30 AM
It does seem a little disjointed. But I kinda like it. At first, "Some snow cold bird" sounded a little awkward to me. I dunno, it could probably be fixed just by adding a hypen (snow-cold). I really like the line "Like that day the rain dog shivered."

??? The original (and still often used) meaning of fey goes so well together with wan that it's almost a redundancy.

I would be more than happy to hear any specific suggestions you have.
Shuushin on Drizzle by Sam 31 Jan 2004, 4:04 AM
Actually, this is quite good for the most part. "Flood the land with gentle take over" is not. I can do without "forlornly" and "little" in this context. I think it's still deserving of a nine though - nice job.
Shuushin on To Avalon by annabellee 31 Jan 2004, 3:59 AM
A good synthesis and gently embedded rhymes - but I can't decide if it's too long or too short...
Shuushin on Covers by sonawrote 31 Jan 2004, 3:56 AM
It's quite close to something good but it's kept back a bit, i think, by some of the rhymes and that last part where disguise is repeated - somehow gets difficult there. I'd say worth re-working a bit.
annabellee replying on To Avalon by annabellee 30 Jan 2004, 9:32 PM
Thanks. If you can come up with something stronger, I'm listening. Writing in his style can be torturous. I think I'll let the swelling go down before giving it another go.
zodiac on To Avalon by annabellee 30 Jan 2004, 9:19 PM
"Forever beckoned beyond the mists. But lost, between the worlds adrift." - this is the weakest part. Fix that up. Some of the antiquated diction might stand to be toned down, even for what you're trying to do. 9.
sonawrote on You Know Not by broken_wing11 30 Jan 2004, 9:06 PM
I like it but feel after 2 readings that there is a small suggestion....add the word time after night in 8th line...flow would be smoother
