MagicLady on October 19, 2004Cheryline,
I just finished reading Call of the Wild, and was very impressed. I will come back and leave a detailed comment. I wanted to thank you for your lovely comments on my poems. I really am grateful for anyone who finds my work good enough to add me to their favorites list...thank you for that. I will be back to read more very shortly. Again, thank you.
Cheryl
Nice name

dlbrown on June 20, 2004Dear Cherylline, for one so young, you have the inner depth and insight of an old soul, I love your writing, it is in tune with the nature of life. Your home, Borneo, is such a vital part of the Earth, of course all parts are needed for the whole. I wrote a poem called Orang, for one of your increasingly rare neighbors, one of Earth's endangered treasures. Ah, but you are one of Earth's treasures. The world will be left for the youth to fix..You can start with your talented writing. Peace to you. Diane

yumanbeing on May 3, 2004Just had to say hello
You are envolved in so many things at school -
I still cannot get over the beauty of your poem "By the feather's flight" - it is one thing to have poetic ability and a developed and original style - rarer still is a heart with such character, compassion, and subtlety - you can take topics of potential devisiveness and give a universal appeal - an example is the verse pertaining to the dead soldier in Iraq or the mines of vietnam - wether british, american, iraqi or vietnamese, all could relate to the tragedy of loss and death as an observation of loss and tragedy - universal to every reader regardless of religion, or nationality - you have a beautiful gift - -

I don't doubt at all that you will be a poet that will go down in history!!!! GREAT JOB ON ALL OF YOUR WRITES.... TTYL

cherylline on January 27, 2004For reader's information, i just discovered that the poem i wrote "Spirit among Nature" is pretty much in the style of pantun, a Malay style that was influenced by a lot of cultures here in malaysia.
It has a four-line stanza pattern, with all the first two lines being basically unnecessary, just images and metaphors; and the next two lines being the meaning; idea. Something like that. So if you were to skim through the poem you'd just have to read the last two lines of every stanza.
The rhyming pattern is a basic all-line rhyme, aaaa all the way. -
SusanL on January 16, 2004Hey there Cherylline. I have to tell you that you are anything but a typical teenager, unless the teens in Borneo have that much greater insight into the human condition than those we are raising in western culture. i have just read Children of the Desert and look forward to many more great reads. I do not celebrate Chinese New Year, but recognize it's significance to others, so happy new year to you.

You call me mature for my age?? Your writing is amazing! I really enjoyed the poem at the start of the page, so intense, full of ideas and emotions. It reminds me of something I wrote when I was at home sick, though it's not a poem.
You write with such depth and power that I almost find it hard to believe you're 15 (and I'm NOT accusing you of anything, by the way).

yumanbeing on November 25, 2003I read your introduction - I also cannot believe you are so young - your poems read so well - I do not know what your aspirations are in life - aside from a sharp intellect you must have beautiful insight to write as you do - that is so rare in the world - you are gifted and will be one who gives much to the world - wether you remain in Malaysia or study abroad

John B Hanson on November 16, 2003With your command of the English language, and your love of Steinbeck, and To Kill A Mockingbird, both two of my favorites as well, if you are indeed 15, I came off of Noah's Ark. My hats off to you. Your ability to weave words is wonderful. Keep up the good work. John B. Hanson
