Critiques

by *moyanII

Here's my humble, much delayed, crit: When judging the poems, I only base my reading of the English versions. Thus the comments regarding phrasing/spacing may not be relevant to the Japanese & Romanji counterparts. First impression about the collection: Being a collection about the year endi...


Very much like this, both in content and how you've broken up the lines. In fact, and this is going to sound petty and silly, the only issue I have with this are the punctuation marks. 1) Does Blue Moon really need captions? IMO, using them distances it from December, emphasizing that it's a spe...

Pikachu, use STAR ATTACK! :star:

It's Super effective; author is butthurt. :V

disclaimer: not all crits ended in butthurt

#the-haiku-club's "Open Spaces" contest winners

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the Haiku Club's 2010 Open Spaces Contest! =D

Top three:

Between notes. Her delicate breaths
between notes—
harmony plucked from heartstrings.

:bulletblue: First Place goes to between notes senryu by =OritPetra. This really embraces the concept of negative space in art.  The pauses between notes have their own place, their own beauty, and hold delightful secrets.

Refuge Hidden from view,
A wounded deer
Collapses in the snow.

:bulletblue: Second Place goes to refuge haiku by ~nakedzen. There is a strong sense of isolation here.  It could be happening in a vast wilderness, or next door, but the subject is utterly alone.

Absence You are far away again, yet you linger on in my house:
the scent of your perfume, the kitchenware sorted your way
and in the mattress: the hollow I curl up to at night.

:bulletblue: Third Place goes to absence sijo by ~PrettyCrazy. This work does an amazing job of using negative space in human interaction.  The details weave an atmosphere of longing tinged with loneliness and comforting memories.

My name is Qishin and I've been on DA for three years. I live in Sunny Malaysia, so feel free to ask me about weird exotic things I have no idea about. Bear with my terrible sense of humor and bluntness, and we'll get along swimmingly. It would also help if you learned to Sarcasm.

On DA, I'm most active within the prose and Eastern poetry community. On the Eastern front, I handle #the-haiku-club. I also run the nosy Lit-Twitter project. So even if I seem quiet, I've probably got an eye on you.

Off from DA, you can find me on Last.fm and Twitter

So I just randomly stumbled onto your "faith in humanity" scheme. I think I'm going to try this out.

Though I'm trying to figure out how I should go about it, considering how near to the end of the year it is. Maybe just start with 86, and work from there?
