Reviews For: Morning Keeps You

PrettyArbitrary 2007-08-14 ch 1,	abuseI have found exceedingly few writers--and in that phrase I include renowned, rich, published authors--who can pull of second person without it appearing creepy, bossy, and/or invasive. You are a member of that very exclusive group. In your hands, it becomes magical.
SwoonsAndSais 2007-07-24 ch 1,	abuseYour writing is always like a very distinctive kind of poetry. You already know how I feel about your writing but, damn. This was one I had somehow managed to miss, and now I'm sad that I had. You have a very refreshing use of creative, original phrases and verbage to paint your imagery. It's very distinct to you, and you should be very proud of it. And you wonder why we asked you to join the game :P
kytyngurl2 2007-07-13 ch 1,	abuseJust -lovely-! Very poignant, touching, dreamy, and sad too. You really captured both the surreal feel of early morning and the one of returning home after so long away-- and in a place very very different from home as well. As always, your writing style is just lovely! 'Wreckage of earth'-- that's a really great turn of phrase, descriptive and pretty at the same time. I really like your take on Leo as well. A wonderful piece, I really enjoyed it! :)
vashsunglasses 2007-06-26 ch 1,	abuseThat was good. I like that you had Leo tie his moves in with his brothers.
The Ghost of FF. Net 2007-06-26 ch 1,	abuseAwesome. I loved it! :D Sorry for the shory review, just got off work so my brain's a mess.^__^
Reinbeauchaser 2007-06-25 ch 1,	abuseI absolutely loved the last two lines of your first paragraph; how very true and poignant. For the first time in his life, Leo can compare living to just existing. The rainforest - teeming with life of such inexhaustable variences - and then the sewers - an opposite if there ever was one. Very insightful, Kay. Oh, and you used what I have recently come to learn as the proper name for a ninja sword - ninjaken. Someone reviewed one of my stories saying as much and I was a bit puzzled. I mean, everyone on this site used Katana. So, I did my usual thing and researched it. Habits are hard to break; it's so much easier to just write it as katana, but - tis true - the ninjaken IS the sword of choice for most ninja and it's usually not as long as we've seen depicted in both cartoon, movie, and comics. Ah, but I believe Eastman and Laird started the katana-craze, so we can blame them, can we not? Bwahahahaha And this part - You try to guess which move has become which brother; the flat side of the blade deferring for Donatello, the strong block thrumming with Raphael. It has been so long since you’ve found Michelangelo; the joy long bereft. Sometimes you practice longer than your share simply out of hope. That was so poetic. I loved the 'thrumming with Raphael', very nice verbiage, there. :0) Then this part, echoing the first sentence - Even now, you wonder how to mesh that life with the one that meets you once more in this underground prison that seems so familiar and stifling at the same time. And what a fitting end to this short missive, imagining the sun, feeling it's return, hearing its song, and in that way knowing that morning has come. Very nice, very nice indeed! Wonderfully done and the point of the story. . . to always know where your true home is, no matter where it is. Fantastic job! I love the message within, too. :0) Be blessed, Rene'
