So I figured, why wait? I like to write very much, I wouldn't say I'm great at it, but it's a passion of mine. Most of my creative energy has been spent lately working on a weird story but it's very long now so I won't post it. I am in need of some critiques for some new stuff I've written so any and all commentary is appreciated. Be mean if you must, but be constructive about it. Thank you in advance to everybody who responds. :D
This is extremely new and this is her unveiling so please be honest about her.
Disenchanted Fairytale
Centered in her fearscape stands her ivory tower
The demons guarding it steal all her power
With blood on their teeth, they await to devour
Her soul—it’s gone from here
Watching the tornado ravage the plain
Off in the distance it’s calling her name
So she crawls inside time and again
‘Cause she’s starving to outrun the rain
—Starving to outrun the rain
Holding a declined RSVP from Prince Charming
Says he’s off with another princess doing some farming
The reality she finds herself in is slowly disarming
Her soul—it’s gone from here
Watching the tornado ravage the plain
Off in the distance it’s calling her name
So she crawls inside time and again
‘Cause she’s starving to outrun the rain
—Starving to outrun the rain
Summon the courage, whatever it takes
How long before this bough breaks
Proving—with the tears from my heart aches
That my soul is gone from here
So I’m watching this tornado ravage my plain
Here in my head it’s calling my name
But I can’t crawl inside to fight it again
I was starving to outrun this rain
Now, I am consumed by this pain
And the poison that is the rain

I like it alot... it's well written and it makes you think!
I think it would make a good song... do you write music / sing / play?

thank you, i played piano for about 7 years when i was younger but i never got very good. i play a little guitar and can harmonize with things. i'm not good at composing so i don't even try. thank you though.
as far as the story, i guess i could try you guys out with the poem that kicked it off first. i'd just like to first say though, i hope i'm not being too trusting and won't end up seeing this being published somewhere by someone who is not me. :P i would be highly upset. :cry: :wink:

meh you shouldn't worry about that. I don't think anyone here would do that, most of us are from forums that have these types of boards and we're very trustworthy. (at least us mods are)

wow, once again I'm blown away by your writing Nikki!
I especially love the stanza with the Declined RSVP from Prince Charming.
This is so powerful and wonderful.
It's so good to see your writing again!
