Oh boy… let me count the times…

Ooh… wow. There are other people like me out there! YAY! Actually I knew that as soon as I first found KP… and it was so encouraging… anyway.

I really love the theme of this poem (of course, since I can relate to it!) and it was very well put across.
There was one line I noticed whose cadence twisted a little oddly— ‘without ever…[Read more]

You know you’re a writer when you go back to read a book you loved when you were younger and are bitterly disappointed because the story you remembered is ‘ruined’ by bad writing.

Oh good! You’re almost done. Good stuff, huh? One of my favorite poems is the one that starts ‘Roads go ever, ever on, over rock and under tree, by caves where never sun has shone, by streams that never find the sea…’ etc.

Yes please do post a sestina— I tried to make sense of the pattern and I think I got it… heh-heh… maybe… sorta……[Read more]

anti drone drones…that’s cool. 🙂 What is really strange is when you make up something futuristic and then suddenly realize that people are doing it today. For example, a brother of a friend installs sound systems into the walls of houses. Also, they can work out settings for lights in rooms, so they turn on and off at preset times; various…[Read more]

Just heard south Korea has anti drone guns (EMP guns) and anti drone drones that capture other drones and bring them back so the south Koreans can tell who owned the drone. Pretty cool stuff.

Oh yes, I see. A picture frame, that makes perfect sense. That would make it really nice. It would be hard though. I’d have to find a seamless design and then do some programing (read have my dad do some programing which he has little time for). It might (would) be easier just to run a simple stipe down the side. I might make it gradient for a…[Read more]

Tom Bombadil was one of my favorite character, probably in the top five. He was unusual, he was a great broke of creativity, but really, he was just downright beautiful. That song he sung when he came to help the hobbits when Frodo called/sung for him was probably my favorite of all the poetry. Just beautiful. I just started book six by the…[Read more]

Just a line of color— a stripe running down the left side, maybe with a few understated feathery looking designs on it, like a picture frame. It probably should be no wider than the width from the left edge of the page to the edge of the white box that says ‘Home: Welcome to the Scratching Quill’.

Does that make sense?

Haha! I feel that. Sometimes, too, I want to write a poem, but I sit down and I’m like “Nope, not happening” even though there’s a rant eeking to get out of me. xD

Looks good, Daues! Can’t wait to read the finished product.

Something I do see off hand is there is a ” missing from the like He lives,” sing the leaves.

@writefury— thank you! That helps. I see what you’re saying, definitely.

@Daeus… um… that’s a beautiful poem there, Daeus. 😛 😉 I… think I may see what you’re saying. I’ll take your word for it that it’s easy… it certainly doesn’t sound easy! 🙂
Yes! That’s one of the great things about Middle-earth. There’s poetry everywhere, and it…[Read more]

I hear their songs of Ever More
And sleep

Ok, I broke my rule, but I had to end it you know. So that does it. For now, I’ll just give you the poem as it stands. I’ll go through it and edit it in a day or two. Feel free to throw in your own suggestions. So here you go.

When Autumn winds excite the leaves
And whisper through the fading grass
When…[Read more]

Thanks Kate, those are good suggestions. I’m not quite sure what you mean by a border on the left side of the page though. Could you explain?

“as the stars begin their sweet lullaby”

(Maybe one more line?)

as the stars begin their sweet lullaby.

We need one more line first

Hi there, Ivy! Thanks for asking this question. 🙂 I like the second group of titles the best. I think that they’ll be easier to remember, for one thing, and they sound a little cooler and mysterious than your first group. I’m also always a fan of one word titles 😉 but that’s just personal preference. I don’t think it’s a bad thing that your…[Read more]
