Oh I'm going to have a difficult time judging this contest, especially when I run across writes like this that have to go to the finalist list. You did an awesome job on this, and I am definitely inspired. Thank you so much.

Great job! Best of luck

al i can say is wow
-
wow
I liked the style
of this poem and
it's dark very dark -
Title- 3/5
Creativity- 3/5
Use of metaphors, imagery, etc.- 6/10
Overall package- 3/5
Total= 15/25
This was nicely done, but the
punctuation near the end was
hard to understand, and could
be without.
More emotion and imagery could
have been portrayed, but
needless to say this was
a good piece
thanks for entering -
daaamn, i'm not one for dirty pretty, but this is really good
-
Brilliant!
Your Dark Pretty leaves my Light Pretty/dark pretty in the wake! 
!!! 
You are just such a talented & intelligent young lass I can barely stand it! 
You should surely keep entering this in Contests cause I think it deserves a GOLD!

Nice job! Best of luck.

Well Sinto Thee Dark
The visual element of modern poetry allowed for, I critique (and admit that here it is used well, to good effect, to illuminate the darker reaches of a mind that might forget).
For a start, the “cascading” justifies the “falls” of the first stanza, and the juxtaposition of “sin” in the “sin//k” sparks the critical faculty in man ( not to be gender specific, as the last stanza might suggest one should be; but that presently).
I thought
s a t r d
h t e e
might well have been rendered as
s a t y r d
h a t e e,
if only to elucidate one line of reading over others, adding “a why”(*groans at allusional pun*) to the endeavour, especially given the explicative nature of the “scattered in pieces” couplet subsequent thereto.
*****************
Can’t say the “pervades//shadows” mix up were what I might best have wanted to see – it more than anything momentarily lost me, and more by way of discombulating a train of thought up into which I had been caught than hastening, but not speeding, me down the track. But I offer no alternative, except to say that might not “dark” have been raised up as well as “fill”, so as emphasise both implications of “well”? Let alone “darkwell”. Which, in that dark light, might have at least a threesome of ideas associate?
********
Overall, great, as a piece of its type, one of the first stripe. I shall place it among the finalists.
MA.

The format and the words are so perfectly used that even though you only used a small number of words it is overflowing with meaning. Thanks for entering!
Bravo and Good Luck!

Amazinggg. Are scattered & pieces supposed to look like that? Because as I was reading this, it does kind of make sense that way. You did a great job with DP. Thanks for entering & I wish you the best of luck ! ♥ -
