Title article: JUST AS YOU LIKE IT.
Date: 2008-11-20 13:52:53

Written in 2004. Mental illness takes many forms as in this story. There are elements from Shakespeare's AS YOU LIKE IT in some passages of speech.

Title article: razor hands
Date: 2008-11-20 13:46:35

Good poem. Yes, a few missspellings that need correcting but that aside i thought this a good readable poem. I like dthe following lines:
Yes,

Life has tortured us all...

Burn the razor hands of time...

They've cut me deep,

But I'm already dry...

Title article: Open Air Shelter
Date: 2008-11-20 13:44:09

I thought quite a good well composed poem with a fine theme. I liked the lines:

I will be worth your efforts
these wax wings I've made for you
have all my prayers safe inside
to carry you to join the alliance of the stars and sky
to burn bright in the sun
and let what melts fall back to earth
carrying it's warmth to the gutters
to blanket me

Title article: Inside Abstract Winks
Date: 2008-11-20 13:41:56

You really are a wonderful poet and this poem confirms it for me. I love the lines:
Sordid orbs, no, not in yours
See, those belong to me
Even though it seems Van Gogh
Caught life when lost at sea

Title article: MAGDALENE'S MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM.
Date: 2008-11-18 05:17:13

Written in 2004. There are elements of Shakespeare's MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM in some passages.

Title article: Slime, Chapter 2
Date: 2008-11-18 05:12:44

I had to follow this through from the first chapter. I thought it came over quite well and the story is developing on. It is alittle Stephen Kingish, but that is no bad point providing you maintain your own voice and story. Good.

Title article: Slime, Chapter 1
Date: 2008-11-18 05:09:24

Entertaining storyline and delivered quite well in good prose. The character is believable and hopefully will develop as the story later develops. Good.

Title article: The cut.
Date: 2008-11-18 05:05:52

The simplicity and lucidity of this poem conceals the deep and painful subject matter of the poem to a small extent. Self harm seems to be the subject and the additional reasons for this, yet all parcelled in such adelicate poem. Good.

Title article: IT'S OK MA SHE'S ONLY BLEEDING.
Date: 2008-11-16 13:26:34

A story of madness and jealousy. Written in the second person. With elements from shakespeare's
THE MERCHANT OF VENICE.

Title article: The Crunch
Date: 2008-11-16 13:17:47

Quite impressive i thought. It captured me and drew me in and along with it. I like these lines:

She grabs the door and slams it in his face,
The crunch of a nose being broken rang
Through the air and sang to the Mother who,
Enjoying her moment of triumph, thought
'What has society ever done for
Me?'
