Well, i can't help you by giving you a critique, because i'm not a writer myself. So i do apologize for that. I would, however, like to tell you that i absolutely love your poem! I too would be surprised if it were not published. I wish you much luck! smile

Thank you for your critique, I guess I picked up that apostrophe thing from Stephen King, I've always chalked it up to being a different writing style. I kept "your" and "yer" different because the captain is referring to the Queen with "your", and it's a little sign of respect.
"home from home" is just another way of saying "home away from home", I hadn't realized that it made a big difference if I took the word "away" away. I could slap it back in there I guess.

Thank you for your time!


Hmm I've read quite a few of Stephen King's books, but I don't remember seeing any apostrophes out of place.

Now I'm curious to see which ones he did that to, so I might have to go back and reread my collection. XD

Ahh... I didn't understand what you were trying to do re: the Queen, but now that I do, I think it's fine.

No problem~ glad I could help. (^_Q)

Is steampunkmagazine still going? Like online? Or is it in print now?

I am confused by their platform.
