How very sad. The self-defeating behavior illustrated in this piece just tears at the heart. It is hard to tell if you lost the girl due to drinking or were drinking because of the loss of another love. Which shows the complexity of the human condition. I really enjoyed this piece. Good job.

An excellent comparison of positive thinking and waves. The imagery shows strength and hope. It is inspirational and shows that through believing in yourself and not giving up, things will get better. One of my favorite lines is, "Then, positive belief is reasserted,At last;
And the tide genuinely and slowly turns."

Review of Tick Tock  
Review by sadorose
Rated: E | (5.0)
Very dramatic. An effective description of a dead-end job. I liked the imagery of how depressing the daily grind can be, especially if the job is menial and unrewarding. The self-hatred comes across loud and clear,"The time clocks I’ve punched in and out of for years,Are laughing at me, mocking me,“All hail the emperor,” they snarl,As I come and go." I enjoyed this piece. Good job.

Absolutely lovely description of friendship.Sometimes the bond between friends can be stronger and deeper then between lovers. I liked how this piece captured the pure and innocent love between friends that will survive through the deaths of many other relationships. The imagery is happy and warm. I really enjoyed this piece. Good job.

A wonderful example of unrequited love. I am sorry that you did not get to realize your crush. I liked the still hopeful feeling in this piece. Love is a harsh mistress that can leave its victims in shreds and soul scarred.This piece flowed in an easy to read pace. I really enjoyed this. I hope you did find love.

Review of Remembrance  
Review by sadorose
Rated: E | (5.0)
I sense great loss in this piece, and I am sorry for your loss. I found this piece an effective illustration of the continued sense of the loss of a loved one. The piece shows the deep pain and the still remaining connection to the lost loved one. The beginning and ending being both about doing the walk on the departed's birthday makes a nice completion. I enjoyed this piece.

Review of He Was The Devil  
Review by sadorose
Rated: E | (5.0)
Very dramatic and dark. I like how you used the repetitive lines to connect each stanza. The stark imagery of the various forms of the devil show how evil takes many forms, many of them beautiful. The woman appears to me to be the same woman and I find that an effective thread through the entire piece. I liked the flow and the imagery. Good job.

Intriguing,enjoyable and shows personal insight.It shows wanting love but feeling unlovable very well. The stark contrast of the desire and feeling worthy of the achievement of the desire is a struggle. I enjoyed reading this piece.

What a beautiful way to see flying. It is both frightening and awesome. I have never flown, so this snapshot of it showed me what it is like. Good job.

A person can always hold their head high. A brief piece that illustrates that just because a person thinks of themselves as "broken" does not make them weak. Good job.

very illustrative of how simple it would be to just look forward to change the direction of your energy and efforts. We can tend to be stuck in looking back at "yesterday's crop". Well done.
