Hehehe awesome!!! I know it was meant to be 'fun' but it creeped me out a bit, in a good way. It's wonderful how you're constantly venturing into new territory without compromising what you want to do with your poetry just to please the audience (altho this was definitely a pleaser).
My only minor (and purely subjective) criticisms are that the jilted rhythm lost its beautiful flow a couple of times, and about 3/4 of the way through the poem I started to feel like maybe you should be progressing the style somehow... but the last 5 or so lines put a nice finish to it so that was fine. Love it love it love it!! |

Essentially9 has no ajar mind for how this sound sound. What a shame. If only she opened her mind.
Anyway - I found this phonically effective, with the accurate use of repetition to conjur an eerily accurate representation of a delay, which (in my mind, at least) conveys a well-known representation of ghost-speech. Never mind the content - I thought your technique here is something I'd find useful . . .
Have you ever played Thief 3 - Deadly Shadows? |
