December Haiku and Senryu Challenge [E] 30 Days of Haiku and Senryu Challenge December 2014 |
Hi Skeason...I'm reviewing this for the 30DBC today. I don't normally do a lot of reviewing, and I don't think I've ever read anything of yours besides your blog, which I often find wildly entertaining and hilarious. This folder was my first stop in your port, and rather than review one item that's only a few words long I'm just gonna drop 4.5 stars here on the whole collection. It's tough reviewing a haiku, because they're so short. It takes a lot to mess one up, I figure...but a well-written one really catches a reader's attention, and that's what's going on here. The whole "saying a lot by saying a little" thing, ya know? Anyway, I really like what you've done here, and I'm embarrassed at not having read more of your work based on what I read during 30DBCs. I know you're intelligent and funny, but this folder opens up a different side of you that I'm not used to. I especially appreciated "Pain", "Religion", and "Victim"...but I think my favorite has to be "Insecure". No reason, really, other than I know what I like. Any number of words can be used within the form's limits...you've chosen some thought-provoking ones that really capture a certain essence. You're really good at what you do, both here and in your blog. Stay awesome. My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
