Violin GhostReviewed Chapter: 1 on 5/11/2008
Been a really long time since this was posted, but wow! I had to review. It was lovely, so lyrical, and your descriptions had a unique beauty of their own. Though decidedly freeverse, I still feel that it could fit in quite well with Tolkien's own writings. Lovely! :)

Author Reply: Thanks Violin Ghost! I really need to get back into the swing...maybe I will one of these days.......

Thanks for reviewing!

hugs

Just beautiful !I love the atmosphere. This reminds me of "Tristan und Isolde"

Author Reply: Why, thank you! Wow! The story or the music? *g* I always like to work a lot on atmosphere, even in poetry. Maybe it's the frustrated interior decorator in me;<)

Thanks for reviewing!

Some have the gift of poetry. I so wish I did. Lovely imagery.

Author Reply: And some have a most uncanny knack for story-telling;) Wish I had more of that but I guess I should just be content with the gifts I have and try to use them well, rather than coveting someone else's!

Thank you, thank you!

blessings & cheer

By the way, did you like my review/poem? I have never shown anyone anything I have ever done before. I almost could not beleive that I posted that after I wrote it! It's horrible, I know, but it's what is in my heart and I hope that it helped you understand how I felt about your pieces.

Author Reply: Farawyn!! I LOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVE it!!!!!! Of course it's not horrible, it's wonderful! and how can you say you're not a poet, of course you are...hey, I didn't think I was a poet once either, a long time ago--but this is one of those instances when I'm positively delighted to be wrong!;)

Thanks once more for it...:) btw, you can see illustrations made by myself and others at my website at http://delroz.bravepages.com/elves/poesie.html

I am not a poet! I just said what was in my heart. That is what poetry is, isn't it?

Author Reply: Yes, well, actually it's about finding fresh and striking ways of saying what's in your heart. You've recognized that there is a lot more to poetry than just a lot of trite sentiments strung together with predictable rhymes and stale imagery and sing-songy rhythms, and that's a great start. I definitely think you've got the makings--you just have to sit right down and do it!
