I want to sing this in a nursery rhyme type of way, I really like this

This is really good! It gave me goosebumps. Great job!

I love it! :) Very well done!

(just as a pre-note, I read this a long time ago and my best friend, Ghost Wulf, read it to and printed it out and put it in her school binder)

Holy crud. I consider myself a fair poetry writer, but this beats me out of the water for sure, by a few million miles. I can't rhyme to save my life, nor use the words in a meaning to fit this poem like you did.

To be honest with you, my best friend had to explain to me who each stanza represented 'cause I have a hard time interpreting things like that sometimes. But that's okay, 'cause I after she explained things, I got it. I think it's absolutely beautiful and I congratulate you on your awesome poetry writing skills.

That was incredible! Poems are so hard for me to write because it's hard to pull off rhyming without sounding childish. You pulled it off to a T though. My favorite line has got to be "Then the Angel burned in Hell And left alone was one". It gave me goosebumps.

Utterly wonderful.

It has the feeling of something in a sort-of horror movie rhyme...

I don't know why, but I love it. It's amazing.

Great job.

Amazing, you've even compelled me to review. And I don't (I'm awfully sorry, I'm the non-reviewer). I loved this. And Then There Were None was my favourite Agatha Christie, you see. And to see something like this just makes me really (happy doesn't fit...it's more of an excitement really). You're a wonderful poet.

Nice work indeed. I don't usually enjoy poems that much, but that one right there was really quite nice.

I don't read poetry fics, but your title and summary caught my attention. I'm glad i clicked! I think i was able to guess most of them correctly (i think) except for #10 (was he a just a no-name Death Row inmate?) and #4 (I'm 55% Watari 45%L) .

Oh and to the reader who asked who #7 was - i think that was Matt.

Good grief. Clicked onto this, almost backspaced when I saw it was a poem but stuck to it, and I'm glad I did. For such a short piece, this is pretty damn phenomenal. The verses linking in and the countdown and the last line...oh it's brilliant. You managed to get rhyme without it being forced, too, which is always good. Adored your imagery, Mello as the angel, the taskforce. I loved the Mello and Near, and Matt, verses best, I think. Though the L one was incredibly well done.

This is just so well phrased. They all slot together nicely, it's almost understated in its simplicity and haunting with the dark themes combined with such a childish concept. Beautiful stuff!

Oh Comps, this was brilliant. (I'm not a Calc fan either, so! I know how that feels! *patpat*) But I loved this. I think I'll write your very long and over-due fic in math... we're doing like sophomore review crap... *wants to beat head into wall* So yeah... but anywhoosle. Much love for this.

And incidentally... PALSHIPPING CRACK.

This reminds me of the "Ten Little Indians" poem. At least, I think it was called that.

The rhyming and the countdown together made a dark atmosphere, an eerie one that I loved. This is really good! And to think that you did this while a movie about Calculus was playing, too...

I wonder, though - who was the following talking about?

Seven levels left to beat

He pulls out all his tricks

Seven levels before he dies

Seven drops to six

I thought this was L at first, but now I'm just confused.

Also:

Four more years of fighting

That he’ll never get to see

A single Letter couldn’t save him

The countdown drops to three

I thought that this was about L or Watari, but if it was, it would've been six, rather than four years, because Light kept playing his little game six years after both had died.

Anyway, I think you did a great job on this. I like it when people combine DN with rhymes and other "childish" things.

That was really good. I really enjoyed reading it. I hope that you write more. Great job!

ooh. I liked that. Lovely wording. So ... beautiful would be teh wrong word but it was close to. I loved that. Amazing poetry. I'm glad that you saw a movie in Math so that you could write something so good. XD

I loved it~. (-proceeds to go to msn and babble at you-)

...How did you get the lines to stick together in the individual verses? All of mine separate out.
