Wow, a nice poem that really rounds itself out. I like how you really expressed the feeling, the emotion, the though in just 28 words. A great idea and great excecution. Love it keep writing, and I will keep reading from your stuff.

- A review from Franci!

Review of my blue world  Open in new Window.

I really like the poem - it's nice and the vocabulary is rich. I actually enjoyed reading it, and I think it enriched my writing a little.
Only thing I would touch on, is the very last line.. I don't understand why no dreams would come true? Or are we talking about nightmares?
Anyways creative and great poem! Love it!

Review of my three babies  Open in new Window.

Cute little poem, and I'd hate to pick anything apart - and for the most part, I can't. It's a very cute and simple poem that still reflects the pain and or grieving you will suffer when they leave. The only thing I would change is the last line, as it seems almost like you're saying that they won't be girls or boys - emphasize what they won't be, what they are now.

Otherwise cute and made me smile!

Review of king on the hill  Open in new Window.

Wow! Interesting, descriptive poem that really catches my attention.
I'd love to see more of this, perhaps more from you. I will definitely check out your portfolio.
One thing I'd like to point out it the spelling of soul and sole. Sole is on the bottom of a shoe, soul is within a person.
Keep writing!

Review of Black  Open in new Window.

Nice poem, but I find the line structure has just got to be revised.
Not a lot of this kind of stuff is structured, I understand, but right now it is a mess, line wise. I've tried to say it out loud and it confused me.
Otherwise a great poem and love the line
Now it isn’t the sorries but a body in the sack
-- too much Red has turned everything to Black.

Sorry, this story confuses me.

Firstly, I understood that this story was about Jade's career in the big city? Why are we talking about moose? Then later, I inference that they are in a town, hence townsfolk. Also, one cannot be a /piece/ of townsfolk.

The story just kind of... drifts off into twists that make no sense.

Revise it, or rewrite it.

Review of Rain  Open in new Window.

Wow, a powerful poem. I can tell that you use imagery well. But you really need to work on your spelling in grammar.

Dose = Does

All ways = Always

Tonsles = Tonsils

etc, etc. It seems almost as if you didn't look over it, as there are many typos.

Revise it and it could be something nice.

Review of Calling Out  Open in new Window.

Two things;

I see your judgemental eyes piercing my face - Sounds almost like a narrative, as if you are creating a narrative story. Somehow it sticks out in the poem, not exactly in the best way.

I am falling at an absurd pace - Though the poem is great, this doesn't sound like an ending. It's a great poem and after this, it just begs for more. Perhaps add another few lines to make a satisfying conclusion!

Review of Clouds  Open in new Window.
Review by Franci Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (3.5)
Very nice poem, full of imagination and promise, but there are just a few things you may want to correct.

looking for it's roar - it would be /its/, not it's.

big old greedy king - big old greedy sounds slightly clunky, perhaps replace it with something that contains a richer choice of words?

and an elephant weigh a ton - though this could be correct, it kind of pops out, almost grammatically incorrect.


Otherwise great poem!

Wow!
Incredible and absolutely powerful. You can definitely feel how it's connected, linked to you. The poem itself has not only a tribute, but a deep emotional connection that can't be replicated.

Keep writing, this was amazing, and never give up - you have a supporter in me.

I absolutely love it, and I think your singing is incredible, and it carries a lot of emotion and you are able to tell that you really try to connect to it.

It's a fantastic song, and the only critique I have for it is that /where love is never shattered like glass/ sounds a little bit odd, perhaps out of place?
I'm not sure... maybe rewrite it... or maybe I'm crazy!

Love it!

I really like this piece, or this script, actually, and I found that I actually connected to it, as in the characters. I found myself imagining how Sarah felt, and that's hard when you're writing a script, especially without any actors. The only thing that slightly bothered me was the whole climax. I think you should remove the clue, ' It was the day before Christmas break; a Christmas they would never see. " It just makes it too predictable and gives away the shock of the moment. Make it more abrupt, all of a sudden when there is peace.

Have the gunshots ring out not immediately after the kiss. Take a while... slow it down. It feels like the kiss /ends/ the story, and then there's just the shooting left. Have them spend a few hours together, make it seem like the story continues. Then have the shooting - it signifies just how a life - or story - can be cut short by violence.

Good work!
