Mesquite : Hey- Scenery,
I',m glad you titled the "Ramblings---" cause you caught me thinking this was non-fiction as I was readinf and then I checked anf found it was not- so you really did get me! A bit choppy but very real. Yes, the shower scene was good (brought back memories of my youth). Keep writing! (16-Jan-08)

Tara Nicholas : I'm not sure this is a short short but I got into it after a while.
The rambling was a bit much but the consistent flow from thought to thought (about your men and loves) kept it interesting. I like how your actions in real life brought up memories of the past. It's like that sometimes.
The shower scene description was very tastefully done and felt real. Like you'd have in a real relationship, which I'm thinking it was. If someone didn't know what it was like showering with another person well now they do. And your memories of that time made it very personal. I liked that part the best.
The use of smells and touch was good. It also served to progress the story. The end wrapped it up nicely (and gave a glimmer of hope) and brought it back to the beginning.
Thanks for sharing. (05-Sep-07)

Tara Nicholas : I think you are right. This was a very interesting way to get a review for a book. Even though it was a little too informal for my tastes, I think it got most of the story and feeling across.
Over heard any other reviews lately?  Thanks for sharing. (09-Mar-09)

scrapsoflife : I agree that this is a lovely introduction to an idea but needs more concrete information to balance the ethereal. A pleasurable read to be certain. (Makes me want to take the Yeats from the shelf and spend an evening in faery myself.) (27-Mar-07)

Lady Lulay : Beautiful! As one of those who dream, I felt you were speaking to me! Many of my poems have been inspired by "listening" to the earth signs "speak". (20-Feb-07)

Malcolm Sterling : This entire article has a dreamy almost surreal quality to it. I'm not sure the crux of the message came across as strong as you might have intended because of this.
While I enjoyed it, my mind kept wandering away from the content to the visual.
In this instance I think this article would benefit from more direct examples and expresssions. Your point kinda gets lost in the fog of the isles.
That's just me though. Perhaps I spent too much time in faery and have become mad?
Your style is strong and smooth. I'm not sure I grasp the overall meaning of the article though. I'll read it again.
I really like the line, "It rends our hearts and exhausts our souls."
But the second paragraph could use some more concrete examples of how to find the messages left in song and story. How do we get to the point where we can find them, when we are looking for them?
Does this make sense? Thanks for listening. I hope this is helpful. (26-Jan-07)

S. Gaia Chapin : Very lyrical. Really does mimic the mood and scenery of a Tennyson poem nicely. A childlike feel to it. (25-Sep-07)
|
Mercy Manic : I just love this. The rhythm and imagery really sing together. You should take a look though. The site garbled the punctuation. (10-Sep-07)
Author Reply: "Thanks for the critique. I've been in and out of town so not on line much lately. I look forward to your next chapters:)" (21-Sep-07)
