Review of Illusions  
Review by J. R. Dewesse
Rated: 13+ | (3.5)
Title: I honestly feel like the connection between illusions and the person losing control was too loose, but I get it. Maybe "deceived" would have been a better title.

Facility of language (literal and figurative): your facility of literal language was fine; however, your usage of figurative language seemed simple and cliche at times. It was vivid. I simply think it could stand to be bit more vivid, could stand some more sophisticated, simple, yet creative figurative language.

Overall impression: nice emotional recreation. I absolutely love the last part of the last line.

Review of Understanding  
Review by J. R. Dewesse
Rated: E | (4.5)
This was absolutely beautiful. If I could find a better word I would. It was so real. I allows one to be the thoughts floating through the head of the hurt one. It was a sort of stream-of-consciousness. Your word choice was phenomenal at times--word usage--i should say. There were a few places such as, "on my silent words he closed his mouth and let fall his face to the floor, and with it a single tear," where I wonder if the wording is intentional. I almost hope that it is, given its unothodox structuring is beautiful. I don't know if you write formally--intend to, or are already published--but I think you should consider it. I have a novel myself and pride myself and enjoy psychological laced writing saturated in deliberate tastefully used imagery, which you have definitely mastered here. I am definintely going to reading the rest of your work and would like for you to check me out as well. (www.jrdewesse.com) My book is titled (To Be Loved: Because it Was Forbidden). It is a story that deals with the sexual identity, the effects of society, religion, family on young boys who find that they like boys. It is a tragic love story to say the least, laced with indescribable feelings, and impliable explanations. Do check me out. And again, this (YOUR) work is HEAVENLY, to say the least!

Review of Lost Soul  
Review by J. R. Dewesse
Rated: E | (3.5)
This poem is based on a nice idea. I think anyone can relate to the idea of a lost soul. This is how I rate it based on specific elements:

Title: fits the content

facility of language (imagery): pretty good, felt a bit restrained by the rhyme scheme.

favorite parts: "chilled and alone in a raw November rain." This image was particulary effective.

overall impression: pleasant, but limited by rhyme scheme. Do keep writing. I liked it.
