for Why the Ice Crackles Under the Water

*Claps happily* This is a very nice written poem. I love when I read a poem about lots of emotion or depressing things. Continue the awesome work!

Take care!

P.S: It’s nice to know that there are guys on here that can express their writing skills. ;)

Thirteenth review!

As an opening note, if you do that style of poetry where lines break off at specific points to create an effect (I forgot what it was called), you should uncapitalize the first letter of the next line that continues from the previous one. It works a bit better that way.

For the first three lines of the third stanza, all the "-sion" created a rhythmic effect at first, but after about three or four of them, it started getting a little irritating. It's not necessarily irritating in a bad way; I just don't have a word to describe how you feel when, for example, you write the same word over and over again, spelled correctly, but you start wondering after the first twenty if you really *did* spell it correctly, and then you have to take a break, look away, and come back to see if you did it right. This seems to be a style in the poem; I think as long as you don't repeat the pattern more than three or four times, it should be fine.

"Feed him, ice-water and whine." Is the 'whine' here intentional?

You have a couple grammar errors here and there, but none that truly glare.

Anywho, I really like this — it's poetic and creates a pace; it's a lot like a song or, oddly, rap lyrics. On the surface, it seems like a simple poem, yet underneath, there's a meaning and a story.

Kudos!

wow, this is only the first of your poems i've read and i'm realy dumbstruck. (in a good way) the flow was amazing, it seemed more like a rap. a song. it's very different from what i usually read. you have such unique talent. oh, and i have a question for you. I read the note at the bottom and, how do you reformat your work? I've been pissed with Fictionpress too. Ecspecially with my poem the gollum in me, stanzas are definetly important.

wow that was really really good. somtimes i try to write poetry, but i think by biggest flaw is that i don't have a very big vocabulary..any suggestions that don't involve reading the dictionary?

WOW! This was great! You used great word choice and it was really interesting to read. I got a message out of it, whether or not it's one you intended. I really liked it, keep writing!

^^ *beams* I'm so glad you updated this poem. It's now one of my favorites. I'm obsessing over it; its haunting me. I read it countless times to try to find the deeper meaning. It's so good! Wonderful tone, choice of words is excellent, and the random themes clash together quite nicely. Great work! (Haha, as always)

i like it, it goes with your current sadistic streak

The constant illiteraion makes it sound like rap though, lol

Good Job!
