I really like the theme of this poem. Warrior women are very cool. I was a little confused by the title because there is a distinction between a tomboy woman who lives in the Amazon and the Amazon women of ancient Greece. I take it this is the former.
This is a great poem and I enjoyed the colorful descriptions of this woman kicking the men's rears in everything.
The last stanza however doesn't seem to fit the rest of the poem. All the other stanza's are dedicated to this amazing woman but the last one switches its focus to the dangers of the jungle. This maybe just me but I find it kind of distracting. It divides the reader's focus.
Anyway, I liked the poem very much. I love the concept and the beautiful language. I could easily picture this wild child living free by her own rules. She is an inspiration. Bravo.

This is a fiendishly clever poem. When I saw it was about a Martian who attacks Earth I naturally thought of that most famous Martian Marvin. This Martian is much more sinister however.
I was actually surprised at the severity of his wickedness. It paints the Martian race out to be rather ruthless. I saw no motivation for his actions. I was very relieved when he saw the light and decided to value life before it was too late. It kind of reminded me of the Grinch.
Overall, this was just a fun poem that with a great happy ending. I enjoyed it very much. I'm still smiling as I write this review so you definitely did something right. Well done.

I think this is an incredibly well written piece of horror. Your descriptions of this man's rapturous appetite for dark beauty is so convincing honestly it is scary. That's what true horror is all about, so well done.
I am even more impressed by the fact that you convey this man's villainy all without a bit of dialog. That is very difficult in my opinion. I generally always fall back on dialog when I feel I can't get the emotions across without it. Kudos.
The kill scene was so real and psychotic I was seriously scared you might have personal experience with it. That was very poignant stuff. You set the scene beautifully and the atmosphere in this piece is just spectacular. It really is beautiful horror. You followed the prompt precisely.
Overall, I really liked this story. It is dark and compelling. Once I started reading it was hypnotic. Your descriptive language is lovely and haunting. I loved everything about this piece. I can't wait to see what you come up with next. I look forward to reading more from you in the future. BRAVO!

This is a great poem. I am a cat person by nature but I can appreciate the loving relationship between a human and their dog. You do such an excellent job of depicting your delightful puppy I feel like I have met her. This is such a bright and happy poem it brought a smile to my face. It was a great way to start the morning. It is a lovely tribute to your sweet little friend. :)

Wow, I like this very much. It really goes beyond creepy straight into terrifying. I love how you manage to give a H.P. Lovecraft feel to this piece. The depth and richness not to mention the completeness of the story you tell in only twenty-five words is amazing. You play upon one of man's most primal fears, that of being eaten alive. You really just did an amazing job within this limited format. I am so impressed. Well done and Bravo!

I really want to get this but I guess maybe I'm just not that smart because I really don't hehe. The word improbable throws me off I think. I can't make the connection between a fictional character denying the nature of his existence and killing me either.
Sorry, I don't mean to be harsh or insulting in anyway. I just don't get this. I'm sure it's just me.

I like this very much. It is raw and honest and very poignant. The emotion exudes from this poem in waves. The sentiment and message are clear. Many of the statements are as profound as they are beautiful. The concept of the inability to see color is extremely potent.
I think this poem is a little rough around the edges and some of the verses are a bit redundant in places. However, I believe if you just spend just a small amount of time polishing this poem it will easily be a perfect 5 star piece. It is very close now. I enjoyed it a lot.

Wow, considering the severe restrictions you were working with this is a pretty amazing poem. I am shocked at the meaningful picture you paint within the limitations that were set. I think you did an excellent job creating a legitimate and interesting poem with tiles. Well done.

Well I found your port because of your Ghostlight poem featured in the Drama NL and I am so glad I did. I have to say now I am a fan.
This poem is just lovely. The serenity you conjure through your use of descriptive language is amazing. The images are breathtaking and the silence truly can be "heard." I am enchanted by the tranquility of this poem. It casts a spell. I love it very much. Bravo.

I really like this poem. The idea of each of these parts meeting to form a whole is brilliant. My absolute favorite line is the last: Then lip to lip, when all combine to form the kiss. This is the most thought provoking love poem I have ever read. It is moving and lovely. I am awed. Bravo.

I like the concept of the one way glass house. It is a very intriguing premise of a love poem. You do an excellent job of conveying the frustration of yearning after an unrequited love. The sentiment of, if only you would see me, is powerful and profound. Well done.

What a beautifully haunting poem. I love the atmosphere you create within this piece. The tranquility that comes within the silent confines of a closed theater is charming. I love the idea that the ghost of other's thoughts and dreams still linger on the stage. This is a very powerful but quite poem. I enjoyed it very much. Bravo.

Oh, I love this poem. It speaks of many of my favorite things knights, witches, quests, and death. Your incredible gift for language paints such marvelous pictures in the mind.
I can see the witch casting her spell of luring, watching it travel through woods like smoke from a fire. I can see the knight following the lure like a hungry man follows the scent of food. I witness their meeting in the forest and feel the ominous air.
This is just an awesome poem. I enjoyed it very much. Well done!

This is truly a poignant six word story. It is in the same league as Hemingway's Baby Shoes. I like it very much. I am amazed that you can tell a story of Alzheimer's with so few words but you do so quite thoroughly. It is a sad and hopeless tale. One all to well known. How did you do in the contest?

This poem certainly came as a surprise. Where is the eloquent language and the Gothic style? Where are the haunting metaphors and the tortured souls?
I'm sorry, I don't mean to mock you. I like this style of poem very well. This piece asks some very profound questions that really make the reader think.
Personally, I think the answer to your questions is... We do appreciate life. We realize it is a miracle not to be taken lightly. That is why we exist in spite of all the ways we have of destroying ourselves.
It is very true that the day we stop valuing life will be a terrifying day indeed. Great poem.

This is an awesome poem and speaks to a phenomena that has long since fascinated me. I am constantly amazed at how wrong our preconceived notions can be. I will speak with someone online and think they are one thing and soon learn they are the complete opposite of what I thought. It teaches a valuable lesson. Great pome, great message. Well done.

I have to say I am a fan but this piece is a bit too obscure for my tastes. I gather from the last stanza that the choice being made has to do with God vs Satan but nothing really in the first two stanzas help with that conclusion. Perhaps I am just dense, that is a distinct possibility but this poem while beautiful as always is just too covert for my understanding. Sorry.

What a marvelous story. It is a timeless theme of pride going before the fall, though I have never heard it presented in this format. This is excellent and I enjoyed this tale very much.
You do an amazing job with rhythm and rhyme the pacing and flow of this poem is excellent. The language is beautiful but concise and easy to follow. This is an amazing example of great storytelling. I applaud you. Bravo!

This goes beyond beautiful and straight into mesmerizing. I love everything about this piece. It is haunting it is eloquent it speaks of loss and lives not appreciated until they are gone. It is mournful and true. Life is short and we are all returning to the dust from which came. We are all dancing to decay. What a brilliant and profound statement. This is my favorite poem of your so far. It really is lovely in its gloom. Bravo!

I like this poem very much. The sentiment and message are sincere and clear. It is one I understand and can agree with, much of today's modern horror is nothing more than regurgitated swill with a modern day "cool" spin or even worse some teenage nocturnal fantasy that can't even be called horror in the blood crazed eyes of the true fans.
This poem very cleverly and eloquently challenges today's writers to come up with tales that rival the timeless classic. Where is our modern day Poe? Who will take Lovecraft's place? Is there no one willing to rise to the challenge?
Excellent poem. Bravo!

Wow, well this poem is just frightening. The torture and pain are so thick you can cut them with a knife. I can hear the screams of the dying. This poem calls up imagines of Countess Bathory and her castle of death. It evokes fear and loathing while luring the masses ever onward. This poem tells a truly horrifying tale. Well done.
