| Senryu 154 | Michael J. Cluff | Hi Michael, I really like this one -- nicely observed haiku form (5-7-5) and a vivid image with an equally vividly loud crow on that "ecru" (an nicely unexpected adjective!) ledge. and "lush" anger, another unexpected and powerful adjective -- terrific! crow squawks at window doughnut on the ecru ledge anger loud and lush Thanks for this one!

| Search and Seizure in the Ache of Day | Rachel F. Spinoza | Hi Rachel, there is so much of the empty awkward feeling of going into someone else's former place and closing things up here -- you really have caught it well -- it's not just the oak that's "distressed" here They are dreaming in the peeling hallway hidden behind beams, dizzy with designing philodendron, Persian rugs, distressed oak. I think the even the agent protected by her motivation and the silk lining of her blazer feels the uneasy, troubling business in that cool kitchen (aqua, nice touch). The man and women whisper in quick breaths while the motivated agent sweats in the aqua kitchen hot in her silk-lined blazer hot from hammering repossession signs and gloomy salesmen [this is really nice-- hammering both the signs and the salesmen -- those alliterative s's] The manicured man bends his stiff suit [great image here] picks up something shining – a diamond – fallen from the head of a unicorn – a diamond set in pink feathers and soiled dreams [here I wonder if you need the unicorn since you have the pink feathers -- are both of them maybe a little bit much? could be just me...] Phantom wings open bare cupboards something is singing [From here on to the end it's just beautiful!] perhaps it is a hinge in the vacant vestibule [those v's are great] or the mangy calico kitten left in the abandoned cellar without papers Copyright © March 2004 Rachel F. Spinoza Thanks for this one, it's a pleasure to read. Emma -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please Critique | 2004-03-17 18:59:02 |
| BackStroke | Rebecca Lee | Hi Rebecca, I do like the inherent tension in the title as you've got it set up (BackStroke) -- multiple levels to read there. I wonder if the tension in the lines could be wound up a bit tighter to carry on the idea. Maybe it's just me but the multiple adjectives when you get to brown/spirit-filled/soulful/eyes kind of overburden the spare feeling of loss that the title and the earlier lines create. Just a thought... take me back moments first words blonde curls brown spirit~filled soulful eyes sweet breath that gorgeous smile. . . Thanks for sharing this one! Emma Quinn | 2004-03-16 15:14:49 |
| Karl Rove's Nightmare | Leo Wilder | Hi Leo, I can already hear the music in the swing of the lines. Thanks for sharing this one! Emma Quinn | 2004-03-16 15:05:56 |
| Seeking Comfort | Jane A Day | Hi Jane, I especially like the turn from outside to inside that happens between the first and second stanza. The imagery is especially crisp, that 'rain of frost' and the alliteration of 'flint and flame.' Is the underbark of a gum tree really blue? or is that poetic license? Just asking, since I have no experience with gum trees! Emma Quinn | 2004-03-16 15:04:19 |
