| 2 May 2004 |  Eliza Hemington |  Loading...Hmmm, I like the rhyming scheme, and I like how it flows so perfectly, and has an even rhythm, without constantly having the same number of syllables per line. I like how the shorter ones add a contrast. ^_^  Elizabeth Wilcox replies: "Thanks. It's great to hear my poetry analyzed by someone who like it. " | |
| 30 May 2004 |  Cocobongo | Loading... Hi! I'm so into Celtic myths and legends and I have to say that your poem is so...so...moving. I mean - I two days ago I saw the movie 'The Mists Of Avalon' and I have to say that your poem expresses the very way that I've felt after the movie ended : the last outpost of a lost Eden faded into the mists of time shielding itself from human ignorance. Wonderful poem - truly. Elizabeth Wilcox replies: "Thank you--by the way, the book by Marion Zimmer Bradley is infinitely better than the movie." | |
| 5 Jun 2004 |  Christa Nopp | Loading... First of all: you are right about Marion Zimmer Bradley's book. The movie does not even come near. As to the poem: very moving and expressive. Avalon in a nutshell ...  Elizabeth Wilcox replies: "Thanks" | |
| 21 Nov 2005 |  Jessica Warner | Loading... Definitely captures some of the Avalon magic and elusiveness. I'm searching for words, but the thing is it can't be summed up in a few words, which is why poems are needed! Nice stuff, and it works as a short poem. Still I have to ask because I enjoyed it: Got any more?Not for this particular poem . . . I'm very glad you liked it. I was trying to express all that I felt about Avalon in as few words as possible (not an easy task for me--I tend to be verbose) | |
| 26 Nov 2005 |  Dan Shevock | Loading... beautifully done. I love the shortness and pureness of the statement of this poem. I also like the questions.Thank you. This is one of the few poems I've actually managed to keep short | |
| 13 Apr 2006 |  Marijke Mahieu | Loading... This was short and sweet! I love these crisp type of poems that are perfect in their own way...And what a theme eh? Ah Avalon...your poem really captured its beauty and mystery. Well done! Elizabeth Wilcox replies: "Thanks--the more I think about it, the more I realize how odd it is to find anything about Avalon that's short, which is probably why I'm so fond of this poem." | |
| 27 May 2006 |  Samantha E Fortie | Loading... Hey dropped by to check out some of your work. Thanks so much for the help on my story. I really like this poem. Short and to the point, the whole in a nut shell. Well its late now. I'll probably check out some more of your stuff tomorrw. Unitl then ~Sam Hey my middle name is elizabeth Elizabeth Wilcox replies: "Elizabeth's a good name. Thanks for stopping by! I'm glad you enjoyed the poem (conciseness is actually a rarity in my writing--is "conciseness" even a word? hmmm . . .) " | |
| 17 Apr 2007 |  Alexandru Moisi | Loading... good poem. I would change thy to something else(personally I hate old English) and maybe reword the last two verses so they flow with tehr est bether where's instead of where is or something like that. Otehrwise It left me with a clear impresion of nostalgia and fog  which I think is a good thing  Elizabeth Wilcox replies: "I have to disagree with the "thy" thing (what is Avalon without old English, after all?), but I'll certainly look into the meter changes. I'm always looking to improve my meter. Thanks!" | |
| 22 Jan 2008 |  Katlyn Joi England | Loading... *manages to gasps wows* I agree with you Avalon is just always fastenating.Have you read Avalon High by Meg Cabbot? I like the the way you describe Avalon like your describing it to someone who hasn’t heard of it | |
| 16 Feb 2008 | Sabine | Loading... wow! nice work. It’s somthing that I could keep reading for a hunderd times and keep the same feeling about it! And it’s true that there is a really nice rhytm in it. | |
