previouslyjade chapter 1 . 12/30/2014 Scary and thrilling and absolutely brilliant. Thank you for writing this! |
Sadie Sill - English stories chapter 1 . 9/6/2014 Poems are so hard to write, but you do this with mastery. I loved it! |
Pale Moon Swamp chapter 1 . 5/21/2014 Good poem! And indeed, when you speak ik out loud, it definitely flows like song. Broken (also by how you lined it out) and sinister. Loved the scary opening lines, I found them captivating. He, I guess I was immediately (and eagerly!) under the ring's spell (I'm such a sucker). Powerful description with "drips from formless lips" and the words roll nicely too. |
Goldie Gamgee chapter 1 . 5/3/2014 Oooh, I love it! Very creepy, very creepy; the words feel like they are strung from cobwebs. It is dark and beautiful, and I cannot find any flaw, at all, so let me just rave a moment about it's awesomeness. My favourite verses are- 1: 'You foolish child how could you/hope to steal away the precious love/I am.' I love how the ring refers to Isildur/Deagol/Smeagol/Gollum/Bilbo/Frodo/Sam (or all seven) as foolish children. I also love where the line breaks- I am a big fan of how the poem can be changed just by how you set it out. 2: 'Persuasion drips from formless lips/to seek a way and bring you close/to he.' I love the 'formless lips' and how the words of persuasion 'drip' from them; very creepy but beautiful. I love how you've given the ring such a distinctive voice, mostly through the layout of the poem and how the line breaks (on average, sometimes it's seven or nine) approximately every eight syllables and then again for the two syllable last line. It gives the voice a broken feel although when read continuously it has a smoother and rather deceptive undertone. I can offer you no advice except: keep on writing poetry, my friend! Meanwhile, you shall become the fifth addition to my favourites list and I shall check out to see if you have any other poetry! -Goldie Gamgee, Daughter of Hades |
