About Myself: I'm a 30-something living in North Carolina. I write for fun, and am looking for some critiques.

My literary heros include Stephen King, Dean Koontz, John Saul, and E.A. Poe. If you are looking for a really good short story, check out Dean Koontz's "Kittens" from his book Strange Highways. Also, check out Raymond Carver's "Little Things" (aka "Popular Mechanics"). And, if you can find it, a short called "The Old Black Hat" by Gary Raisor. Classic.

Also, for reading material, I enjoy comic books. Not only the Spider-Man, Batman, X-Men variety, but also Calvin and Hobbes, Zits, and Non-Sequitor. Some good reading right there, I tell you.

Title article: Stop Pretending!

Aside from agreeing with Lemon about how it flowed (it was kinda bumpy), I enjoyed this poem and think that the message that you are trying to get out is a good one. Keep it up.

Title article: Behind Blue Eyes, Chapter 1

Not being one to normally enjoy a series story, I was going to skip over this one. I'm glad I didn't. This was very well told, and I'm finding myself looking forward to seeing what happens next. Good job.

Title article: Vancouver

A poem aboot a place in Canadia, eh? I bet you'd like to punch those of us who make fun of Canadian accents, eh? I'll make this comment worth your time. 
This was written very well, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I love the city, and Phil was right when he said it could be any city. The descriptions were great, and I could picture myself standing there looking around. Very well done. Eh? :-)

Title article: HELL'S MONOPOLY, Chapter 0
Date: 2008-07-14 17:23:14

Your writing has improved, young Jake! This has the potential to be an incredibly interesting and frightening series, and I look forward to what lies ahead. Well done!

Title article: The Hecatomb, Chapter 6
Date: 2008-07-14 17:12:21

Once again, you floor me. This was an excellent chapter in a phenomenal series, and that's not a compliment that I give lightly and freely to everybody. As always, this will go into the favorites, and I will wait anxiously for the next chapter.

Title article: This Internal Poison
Date: 2008-07-14 17:02:49

As I was reading it, I thought, "Not another 'I hate me' poem!". However, it turned out to be pretty good. I'm not really fond of the last line, either, and I'll tell you why: "Where this poison I've created just keeps getting fed"... is the poison getting fed, or are you feeding off of the poison? 
 
I just entered that weird phase where, if you say a word too many times, you lose its meaning. The word "fed" is nonsensical to me right now. 
 
Good poem.

Title article: To Whom It May Concern
Date: 2008-07-13 19:58:49

Alfred, I just gained some new respect for you.

Title article: The One
Date: 2008-07-13 19:48:01

You have absolutely done it! I loved this poem, because it says exactly that which we all feel, and you, Amie, know who "we" are. You've put into words what I ashamedly feel so often. This is a favorite. Keep writing!

Title article: A Dark Poetic Tale of Woe
Date: 2008-07-13 19:34:32

This is good. I like poems like this that have the same letter throughout (there's a word for it, but shit if I can remember what it is). I think it takes talent to write a poem in such a manner and have it still make sense at the end. Well done.

Title article: Her Most Loyal Man
Date: 2008-07-13 18:58:48

Wow, that was really good, in a creepy, stalker sort of way. I agree that it's nice to see a non-rhyming poem again. This was well written and flowed well. Keep up the good work.
