Shards-of-Affliction [2010-02-13 23:03:11 +0000 UTC]

I like it just the way it is so I can't suggest you change anything about it

I think it's just perfect. You give a very nice description of what you're explaining with colorful and descriptive words (sorry if i'm being redundant here?) I think the length is just perfect, honestly :3
I loved this piece completely!

It's sweet, sort of. I like that you describe it "sex appeal", actually... It's unusual. Beauty is subjective, and infected by personal attachment to something, but sex appeal is something different.

I like your idea, and the shortness of this.

Thank you! I'm glad it has that unusual feeling, because that's exactly what I was going for!

I don’t think it’s too short or not detailed enough at all! I love how it points out things that really should be unappealing but for whatever reason you can’t help but love sometimes. Personally, I would put a full stop after the β€˜I love you,’ because then the rest would be seen as another point instead of flowing on from the rest of it, but that’s just personal preference.

And having re-read my comment...I don’t think I make sense. I’m sorry, today is not my day. Great poem though!

PagesOfDreams In reply to OoRaimaeoO [2010-02-06 01:12:09 +0000 UTC]

Haha, personally I want to keep the last line, because actually that was my signature line to writing the poem. That line popped up on my head and that's how I got this poem. So I'm kind of attached to the line.

Thank you. Haha and it's okay, I have days where I re-read what I've written in a comment and go ..."What?" and feel TOTALLY disconnected from what I just wrote.

OoRaimaeoO In reply to PagesOfDreams [2010-02-06 01:15:47 +0000 UTC]

Oh no, sorry! I wasn't meaning get rid of the last line. I don't actually know what I was saying now...I think I was saying having 'I love you.' with a fullstop instead of a comma and then the last line as usual. Sorry if I've misunderstood or made you misunderstand or...I'll stop now.

I feel like that's pretty much how I've been for weeks now. I'm thinking more sleep and less work would help. XD

PagesOfDreams In reply to OoRaimaeoO [2010-02-08 01:07:03 +0000 UTC]

OH! Haha. Hmm, I feel like the comma keeps it from looking too open and too closed though. Either way.

Yes, more sleep is good.

Thank you. I agree, making it longer doesn't necessarily mean making it better unless it feels like the poem is missing something... and it's not enough. Though, sometimes that's solved with more description, not necessarily length... okay I'll stop babbling...

THANK YOU!

This seems like one of your scraps but better. Its a short journey but makes it point with the last line.
You could make it longer, add more detail, but why? Its good.
I also detect a hint of humor in it.

Hehe, you've detected well. I wanted to add a bit of fun charm. Not intended to be a laugh out loud funny, but... something hard to explain.

Thank you very much.

Kind of, yes. A bit of fun. A bit of truth too, because nobody is perfect. Everyone has their quirks and it's the angle of ... well quirks being attractive to a person.

True. I think it's our quirks that give us depth, makes us interesting.
Personally, I dont have any quirks, so I am quite boring....

I think it's amazing just how it is. If it were longer it would be too detailed. This is just the right amount to give us a taste of what you're talking about, and I can tell you it's a great taste.
Like lemon zest(:

Simple, yet striking. Short, yet profound. I love the last lines. They have a "Dammit! I love you!" feel to them that made me smile. And a nice use of magery too.

Woot! Unintentional Coraline reference!

This piece is short, but delectably so. It has all the right trimmings to get the imagination stirring. The detail is a bit slim, but in this case, detail isn't what makes this piece stands out and so, it's not of importance. It's the openness of the poem that really makes it a charm.

Actually... the button eyes remind me of Coraline, which gives the opposite effect, seeing as the Beldam tries to sew buttons onto Coraline's eyes to 'love her forever' when she pretty much eats souls.
