*RainbowL*A Review from "Simply Positive Review Forum " !*RainbowR*


The better of your work I must say...

highlight:
"she's not one to speak
so she writes herself
a seclusion, dotting the 'I's'
her all important capitol 'I's'
counted in a spiral notebook
a lonely two or three of the 'I's'"
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

successes

manages to grab emotion

subtlety

profoundness
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

flaws

ends a bit low compared to the middle and pre end
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I would advise you try to write something not about writing, considering a lot of the past ones are about writing...

*RainbowL*A Review from "Simply Positive Review Forum " !*RainbowR*


highlight:
"Sometimes the love of writing
circles into a war, a battle within, pages
to number the time it takes
'Author beware,' the instructor said."

great poem!
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

successes

1. limited satire

2. beautiful verses
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

flaws

1. I feel this would've worked better as a satire poem

2. some verses feel unneeded, for example "it might just make a single move on the chessboard, winning"

3. not nearly enough subtlety
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

good poem, but still needs some work overall...

3.5 stars

highlight:
"He looks a lot like me.
The only real difference
He is smiling"
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

notes

1. I can see you don't like sleeping with negative thoughts, but then again, who does?
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

successes

impressive subtlety

interesting concept

incredible ending!
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

flaws

it feels like it's missing something, just something...

a bit of the middle was overdone/felt like filler...
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

overall 4 stars

embrace that!

This review was made for SIMPLY POSITIVE
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

interesting story, has a feeling of confusion and insanity, which the bold and size matches with perfectly...

highlight:"But I need to know that this has happened before that this is normal, that people often come and go, that people often imagine. It never felt too good to be like me .It never felt too good to catch your boyfriend staring at other girls. It never felt too good to be able to relate to every sad song .It never felt too good to see your mother crying .It never felt too good to be me."
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

successes

the second half of it goes berserk and it feels amazing!

captures a feeling of confusion perfectly
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

flaws

a bit too, ahem, crazy...
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

4.0 stars overall :)

now onto another one! (with this same format ((that I need to change...)))

Very Interesting and great!

highlight:"The way he figured it, Silver Sam could convince just about anyone of anything."
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

successes

vagueness

subtlety

intriguing

very strange...
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

flaws

almost nothing really, this is my kind of writing :)

only thing is that it is a bit short and no foreshadowing for Silver Sam besides the title...
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

if it weren't for the lack of foreshadowing, this would be 5 stars completely...

Now I hate reading and reviewing anything informational, but since I got nothing else to do, why not? XD
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

successes

clear

understandable
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

flaws

a bit too awesome

a bit too clear
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NOTE: The only thing that means something here is the first sentence, the rest is boredom of not doing anything but looking at writing talking...

so I mean no harm, just take everything I said as harmful sarcasm :)

oh XD, well I got myself in a bit of trouble, I don't really want to change the structure of the story completely just for the prompt :(

well I'm not going to change my entire album just for this one contest, and since I'm non-basic, I can't create a new item :(

well at least I learned how to bitem...

Review by WhatIsSafety
Rated: E | (4.0)
highlight:
"In order to pause at the solitary building
To return the unread book
Before he made his way to the school
Hoping to fit in"

this poem was very intriguing to say the least, and that's coming from me, mister erase 1.5 stars for not being subtle enough guy XD
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

successes

brilliant foreshadowing in the 1st and 2nd poem

show of a poet might throw away a experimental idea to fit in...
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

flaws

needs to have more emotion with the combination of third person and first person (specifically first person)

about it :P
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

overall 4.23 stars :)

I like your experimentation, going with 3 stories instead of 1...

Review of Mother Gaia  
Review by WhatIsSafety
Rated: E | (3.0)
an interesting poem, after reading all your poems, they share the same word pattern and overall rhyme pattern...

I suggest you try something different, avant garde, short story, etc...

while keeping your skill at poetry

of course this is just my opinion...
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

successes

great rhyming (across all your poems)
sense of profoundness needed with almost all poems
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

flaws

is not subtle at all (tells everything) now, there is a small amount of subtlety in your other poems, but they just have so little of it...

same meanings, (the last 3 poems have the same meaning behind different words) I'm no hesitant to have the same meaning over multiple items XD, but each item has to have something different besides rhymes...

feels a bit rushed, especially at the end (this seems to vary between each of his Items...)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

overall this work is 3.0 stars, your entire portfolio would be rated 3.5 stars

though with your rhymes and overall patterns, combine that with some experimentation and I can see a writer writing some of the more interesting works here...

wow! Just wow! This story is amazing. Just. Wow. It mocks society, plots, structure, logic, and beliefs. All in one story. That's just incredible....
