Reviews For: The Dawn's Music and Other Poems

Wonk 2003-02-10 ch 3,	abuseVery, very nice. I love the imagery you use. I have to say my favorites are the first two in the first set, the first in the 2nd, and the last of the 3rd. Beautiful.
sdrtkjdr6yjdrtyj6uxe6xe46j 2003-01-20 ch 1,	abusereviewing some of your stuff as promised. Having a little trouble with the metrical scheme in "Evenstar's Promise" (Oh, please say you will meet me, too, In the sunrise of that warm clear day) Might sing better as (Oh, please say you will meet me too At sunrise of that warm clear day) also try this (We dared not think of death’s cruel trick, Or betrayal of another kind) as (We dared not think of death’s cruel trick, Or betrayal of other kind) Rhyming in meter is a B**ch I know. But the poetic form gives you license to use forms like ('nother) for (another) , dropping a syllable if need be to fit in the rhyme scheme. I read and had to chant Virgil in Latin for a year "un-rhymed Iambic Pentameter" so meter is under my skin. How he did it I do not know. Going to read your prose now. But DO Like your poetry, keep it up!
Suki 2002-12-23 ch 2,	abuse"The Dawn's Music" actually sounds the the sounding of horns. And I think I've said this before, but I LOVE "A Farewell"! ~Elsie~
Tennessee Belle 2002-08-25 ch 2,	abuseWow, your poems are really great. You have a gift for writing. Tolkien would be jumping for joy if he read these (i know he'd dead). Thanx for the advice on how to get good fantasy names. ~Princess Ella (Aralasselantavanima)
Lady Cheshire 2002-08-12 ch 2,	abuseDo you enjoy making people cry? I do. Just kidding. But you really did bring tears to my eyes, with all of these poems. I'm as dense as a brick, so naturally I stink at ryhming, but you have, I think, a natural grace for poetry, and it's incredibly inspiring to read such beautiful proses on such bittesweet topics. You're my hero! Thanks for the fic.
Nicki 2002-08-11 ch 1, anon.	abuseOne word: Wow. TYhose poems are amazing, and the fact that they are based off of my fave book makes them even better...Great job
Suki 2002-07-31 ch 1,	abuseI like your modern writing styling and the ending to "A Farewell". I would title the thrid poem "The Errand", because it seems to me that that is what it's about. ~Elsie~
queenbecca 2002-07-21 ch 1,	abuseA suggestion for your third poem (which I LOVE): You could call it 'Mornië,' which means 'darkness' in Quenya. Dunno. Maybe. Either way, keep writing! ^_^
Adiva Calandia 2002-07-21 ch 1, anon.	abuseGet yourself a good book of english-elvish and write some poems in Quenya- these are quite good.
