In depth with a focus on grammar and word usage. I am by no means an expert, but I have a pretty good grasp on on launguage and grammar. I am honest, but I try not to hurt anyone's feelings. I love things that are strange and unique, the weirder the better. I like to review short stories the most, but I will review poetry as well. However please take my poetry reviews with a gain of salt. It's not my specialty.

Review by Sing Me A Story
Rated: E | (4.5)
This is a very descriptive piece that does a wonderful job of engaging the senses. The only suggestion I have is that the description is silent, and nature is never silent. There's no wind, no birds (and on a summer morning, there are always birds), no description of any sound. Even if there isn't a sound to be heard, an acknowledgement of the quiet would fill this void. Otherwise, this seems perfect to me!

Review of Wings of Hope  
Review by Sing Me A Story
Rated: E | (3.5)
I like the premise of this piece. It could really benefit from some punctuation though. The missing commas in the contractions really stand out, and not in a good way. Actually, if it were me, I would just drop the contractions all together and just use the full phrases.

I love the line, "all I do is break
Hearts that I didn’t want". It holds a lot of weight. Again, I think "did not" would pack more of a punch than "didn't" though.

There seems to be a lot of repetition in this piece, and I'm not sure if it's necessary. It's better to say a lot with a few words, than to say not very much with many.

With a little cleaning up, this could be a really good piece!

Nice. I love the imagery of this poem. It is short and sweet and to the point. I love that you are able to create such a vivid scene with so few words. I can't stand it when poems ramble on and on for no reason other than to just be longer. However, I personally would have added one last line to balance out the stanzas, but I'm kind of OCD about symmetry. Anyway, this is a lovely piece, and I really enjoyed reading it.

And they can’t understand that the only good that ever comes from
Taking an eye for an eye
Is an increase in the price of monocles

This might be best thing that I have ever read. I love it lol
Actually, I loved all of it. This poem brings up a lot of good points in very unique ways. It made me think and it made me laugh, which is never a bad thing. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read and enjoy your work.

This is a pretty good poem. I really liked the line, "But taught me how to stitch me up". For some reason, I love the double use of the word "me". It's a little sing-songish, but I guess I like that. The rhythm and rhyme are both a little off, but just a tiny bit. Overall, I enjoyed this piece.

Review of Song of Chains  
Review by Sing Me A Story
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
This is such a moving poem! My favorite lines are, "‘Bout how I once stood tall and straight, When once I was a king." They gave me chills. Everything about this poem seems pretty spot on. I don't really have any helpful suggestions. I only wanted to say that I really enjoyed reading your poem, and I thank you for giving me the opportunity to do so.

Review of Day Dreams  
Review by Sing Me A Story
Rated: E | N/A (Review only item.)
This is really nice. This poem is so whimsical and dreamy that it really does convey the concept of daydreaming very well. My favorite line is "I paint the dance, then dance what I pray." The last four words of this line are especially moving to me. I love this poem, and I thank you for giving me the opportunity to read it.

I was with you until the last verse. I'm not really sure what is going on there (the craziness has reached a climax?) Other than that, this is a pretty good poem. My favorite line is, "if there's cancer in my liver then there's cancer in my brain".

P.S. I work in a nursing home, and have actually seen someone pull out a catheter. It is incredibly bloody and disturbing.
