27 Jun 2002	Jessa S Loder	Loading... This seems so matter of fact - does it have a source? A drawing or something that its drawn from? I again like the style, but didn't feel any emotion, and didn't see it in my mind like I did with the first sonnet. Still, well done :_) Benjamin P. Albrecht replies: "well, i was going for the 'story poem' style; i might have botched it. still, it was part of the package, with the story and the illustration."
24 Mar 2003	Maggie 'Rei' Davidson	Loading... Ohh... that was groovy, it flowed. like a waterfall, LIKE A WATERFALL!! is hyper Very good Ben-Chan! Benjamin P. Albrecht replies: "wow, thank you! i did try to make it faster toward the end, actually; i'm glad it worked."
31 Aug 2003	L. 'Shanra' Kuepers	Loading... I'm not sure what to think of this, actually. I know on one hand I would agree with Jessa and on the other with Maggie. I'll admit I've read more than one sonnet now, and I still hate them. That makes it very difficult for me to judge this poem objectively. I do not think you botched this as much as you think. Keep in mind that writing to a set form is very challenging and difficult. I think the story you are trying to tell is more the cause of things than your skill. It really does flow as Maggie says it, make no mistake, but the story itself is one, I personally believe does not belong poured into this specific form. I'm not making sense, am I? Apologies for that. Benjamin P. Albrecht replies: "thing is, i'd already done a story and a pic for this. i did the sonnet just to complete the triangle. but it didn't really work--i should delete this."
5 Sep 2005	Nicolei Arnold	Loading... Really, I didn't the story. But I like how it is laid out. I guess I sort of read it for enjoyment not comprehension. It's good.
