I think you did a good job in the selections. Tears of my Soul is a personal favourite of mine since that's the poem that got me interested in your works. Softly is cool because I loved seeing Alix all creeped out. =P The Vampire's Quest is very powerful and sad. Love of Rhyme is, by contrast, fun and optimistic as it gives a voice to poets everywhere. I, er, don't want to be a party pooper, but you forgot to capitalize an "I" in Awakening. =P

how long i have slept.

That's all I have to say. They were really good selections. ;)

Haha, maybe for poetry, but for prose, I'm too darn slow. And I'll scare away the author with the length of the comments. Though, neither is going to happen since I'm too much of a meh poet myself to be considered for the position in the first place. =P

Yeah, you should. =P

I just realized I never got around to "To Die For" I keep thinking I'll read it, forget it, think about it, have no time, forget it, get depressed that you're not here, forget it... you get the point.

Sorry if the typo-check might be a bit inconvenient since Crimzon posted it for you, but I noticed a few things.

quote:

His only friend, a shapened machete.

"sharpened"?

quote:

He'd stand staring and unable to leave.

Hmm, how do I put this? Sounds like "unable to leave" is being used as an action while I think it's more of a description, y'know? I'd replace the "and" with a comma to highlight that.

quote:

Her watcher felt something inside him had died.

Hmm, I think the "had died" thing sounds a bit weird. I mean, it's right at that moment when the something dies, not before, right? Am I making sense? At least, from a flow perspective, a simple "die" fits better, imo.

quote:

Hurt and anger built and turned to rage.

Flow is a bit off and repetition of "and" I'd change the second "and" to a comma and change "turned" into "turning."

Creepy... and amazing. I love the, er, physically holding the heart for the final time thing. Unfortunately, I've read quite a few things (not necessarily poems) that delt with that recently so I wasn't quite as banged as I would've been. Still, it was an amazing ending. And an amazing poem. You've once again proven your mastery at the powerful ending.

I'm glad you're back. Don't leave again. =P

@Crimzon5: I may not have logged in but I come here a lot. my apologies for making you think I had left.

@Firefly: Thanks for the edits. unfortunately, I cannot go in and fix 'em myself. since the poem is in Crimzon5's thread and Crimzon5 had to post the poem for me I will need Crimzon5 to fix it for me. I am only an AP and not an AA. I did notice the typo on "sharpened" but not until it was too late.....sigh. don't worry, I never left. just have been mega swamped lately. my brain has been on overload.

New... Highway in the Sky for my dear sweet friend Fuzzy. I will remember you always riding happy and free

quote:

His spirit climbs a magic ascent.

I think "magical" would flow better, but your call.

quote:

His love to ride the open road.

this sounds like he's literally sitting on a moving road. Perhaps you mean "ride on the open road"?

quote:

The freedom pure and true.

I think it makes more sense without the "the" and still flows, but your choice.

quote:

My heart is with my brother.

this line kinda broke the flow for me. I'd say "My heart is always with my brother"

Wow. This was very touching, Garnet. The imagery was beautiful. I like how you create such an atmosphere of sorrow, but still manage to install a tiny shard of beauty and hope. Thank you for sharing this with us.

thanks Firefly. edits will be done. was a tad shaky when writing this as this is something very close to my heart and happened quite recently. I am supposed to bring it to his memorial tomorrow so thanks for the suggestions on cleaning it up.
