Oh, that was so nice! I like the hopeful sound of the last two lines: "...He waits within his box; he's not yet seen--but he has heard the singer named Christine."

At that point in the story, even though the audience knows his fate, we have hope for our dear Phantom. I love it! You're a very good writer, and you know I don't have much to critique you on, since I'm not nearly as good as you, but I still like to read your stuff.

Anyway, I'm off to read the updates on Letters and Denoument.

ONWARD!

This is so sweet! Great job. Poor unhappy Erik. I love it!

man i love that novel i have always loved the play so when i saw the book i just had to have it my god it was awsome i couldnt put it down ur poem like u said is simple but thats ok its the simpleness in it that inspires the character that is erik well to me at least! i love it its so cool big fan of phantom of the opera way before the movie came out which i think they did a really good job on in my opinion some stuff i was like ok but could've been better i was not disapointed in the movie. but i wish they could've kept alot of eriks original history. the scene on the opera roof where he sees them go off together and then stands on the gargoyol (um cant spell it) and says "you'll curse the day u did not do all that the phantom asked of u!" ok im rambling but yeah i like the poem its uber cool and i want to dedicate a pg now on my website(under major construction) to the phantom if i ever do get it up can i use ur poem all credit goes to u though of course? plz um thanx for reading all my ramblings and such

Wow . . . that's really good! And yet . . . so sad! *cries* Poor, unhappy Erik! I'm sorry Erik! *hugs him*

Erik: Get off of me!

Shade: NO! *to you* Great job again, you have a great way with words! *is envious*

great sonnet! i really liked it!

Big loud applause for you. I've tried writing sonnets, and mine all stink--yours is good. "...like Judas, she betrayed him with a kiss..." What on earth does that mean?
Small note: you capitalize the first letter in each line in a poem, even if it's in the middle of a sentence. Weird, but true. Good job!

Wow. I liked that! I didn't hardly understand that explination of stuff...I'm quite a...n00b I guess, heh. I still loved it though! It made me think, which doesn't really happen often! lol!
