| Date | Name | Comment | | | 6 Apr 2007 |  Désirée Dippenaar |  Loading...*first comment iguana-slither*  I like this poem~ ^^ Great imagery with the "silver hand" and also the personification you used! You're a good poet! ^.^ I also like the alliteration and all those other devices~ Nitpickies: "bringing fourth" -- should be 'bringing forth' "falls fowl" -- should be 'falls foul'  Sarah-amy haley replies: "Hurrah for first comment Iguana-slithers!Ah nitpickings, gooood proof reader. I really am terrable with spellings especially in poems because they just, sort of, happen without me thinking. Thanks for commenting oh great and bountiful iguana and yes I do have a thing for personifiation, it will get worse, trust me! : )" | |
| 12 Apr 2007 |  Beth Alice O´Leary | Loading... I actually really like this poem. The last line is wonderful and fits beautifully, but the line before seems a little clumsy and too long compared to the others... Not a big deal, plus I'm not sure how to fix it, so..! "fourth" should be "forth". [amused by the 'fowl' mistake] Fowl = birds! Teehee..  Well done, lovely poem! ^_^  Sarah-amy haley replies: "Maybe Death became a big bird!? Thanks for commenting, I wasn't sure about the last line, but hurrah, you like it!" | |
| 2 May 2007 |  Dan Shevock | Loading... I'm glad I read this. It reads like a nursery rhyme, (which is perfect, as the content) and the rhythm is perfect. Death, the big bad lord of doom, and brought low by Mercy. I enjoyed this.  Sarah-amy haley replies: "Thank you! I'm really glad you liked it. You've actually quite cheered me up today Cheers! " | |
| 10 May 2007 |  Pippin Ren | Loading... A Wonderful Self Made Poem. Imagery is always the key to a good poem as it lives up the moment and for you to understand things. Don't worry about spelling, nothing has to be perfect. =p  Sarah-amy haley replies: "Thank you, I'm glad you like it. - Imperfections make things perfect, unless you’re a perfectly pernickety perfectionist - Good day to you. And SMILE! " | |
| 14 May 2007 |  Trevor D. Worthey | Loading... Wow. Very succinct, in a way I could never feign to accomplsh. I love the imagery and personification--the portrayal of mythical Persons is something that fascinates me, and I love when people do it as well as you. Kudos! I <3 DEATH! (^_^) [^I know you read Terry Pratchet ]  Sarah-amy haley replies: "Thank you - worried about the loving death thing, but still honoured. And Terry Pratchett is brilliant! " | |
| 19 May 2007 |  Kelsey M. Graham | Loading... *has random discworld moment* ..that does sound like him, doesn't it... anyway, great poem. I usually hate poetry about Death, but I love this one. *gives sarah-amy a piece of cake* Sarah-amy haley replies: "I love it when people give me cake, they should do it more often! Thankyou " | |
| 30 May 2007 |  Angela Perry | Loading... Unlike most Elfwoodians I've met, I love poetry! And this one is quite good. I like the way you describe death, and I thought the last line was very insightful The meter seemed a bit off in some parts, though you did a great job with the rhymes and syllables. Just a suggestion on writing meter: It helps me a lot to write out the poem, then put little symbols above each syllable to show upbeat or downbeat. That way I can mess with the rythm visually. Other than that, I loved the imagery you used. Also, the internal rhyming of "clawing," "bringing," "casting," and "tearing" was lovely. Nice job! Sarah-amy haley replies: "*Desperatly tries to remember what meter is* something to do with poems, I think... english teacher mentioned it... english GCSE in 6 days...Ahhh... I will look into that. Thanks for the good advise, I'll try it next time. And cheers also for the nice comments. ) " | |
| 6 Jun 2007 |  Randall Owen Salau | Loading... What a lovely poem. I was never good at poetry myself, and my English teacher at high school thought I was even worse. Now you've inspired me to prove my teacher wrong and try again *pins photo of teacher to dart board* I liked your choice of words and especially the last line, it was a wonderfully insightful view of the fate we can hide from but never escape.  Sarah-amy haley replies: "Insightful? Me? That's something I don't here often, thank you! " | |
| 11 Sep 2007 |  Love B. sandquist | Loading... Really nice imagery! I have allways liked death, he is such a nice fellow Oh yes, awefully good chap! ; ) can't find anything wrong (that have'nt been nitpicked allready) i also like the rythm of it, it got a nice ring to it  Sarah-amy haley replies: "Thank you, I wonder if Death likes being liked? ..." | |
