Review of wormwood.  Open in new Window.
Review by Michael Romeo Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (4.5)
I don't know. To me it comes across a mite grabled. I see promise in the piece and having drank absinthe I immediately felt a liking, indeed a certain draw to give it a second .

And I'm glad I did. What might have been lost in the first reading came across the second time around. I like it. I don't know why.

Dragonfly's. Friends taken before their time. I give you five to remember their lives, how they lived and died.

Thank you

I think it needs some work. Althought the scenes you've carved onto the page are indeed visceral and spring to life in the imagination, a little polishing still needs to be done. In my humble opinion of course.

Nobody ever built a statue of a critic.

Great story! The downward spiral of the boy into evil is fantastically drawn. Having had an experience of my own with some incendiary devices during my youth I found the part where Tommy is in the woods trying out his explosives very tangible to me.

Interesting wordplay but I wonder: how did the narrator know how long she was wearing that white dress?

I don't want to critique it because I think you know it could be better. I'll submit this :And these unusual company . ." shouldn't it be THIS unusual company?

no one ever built a statue of a critic

I see emerging talent. But you must stick with it and later it's gonna burn and you'll throw pens and crumple paper but see it thru and something will come of it

I love how your piece easily moves from thoughts of bliss to the darkness behind the light.

Intrinsic freedom rings throughout your poem. I nod my head to one who can craft such subtle yet sublime works.

Not bad at all. Might be a bit wordy but what do I know?

Review of The phone  Open in new Window.
Review by Michael Romeo Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (4.0)
I liked it! Well done.

While I think that some contactions could be used

'. . . it breaks my heart to hear, “when do you think he will come home?” It takes a while. . .' (maybe '. . .when he'll come. . .')

though this is just stylistic differences but you'd <-- (example) still adhere to the one-syllable per word exercise and have that extra word to use elsewhere.

It was striking the way you could alienate and join together these two people.
