Content: 31/40
I must admit that I'm not the biggest fan of poetry diaries, but you writing is very good. It's still not something I would read on a daily basis (or an updated basis), but your poems are very thoughtful and emotional. You seem to put a lot of energy into each of your poems, making up for the differences between each poem. Each poem seems to have a slightly different feeling, even if they are vaguely related in theme. Some are extremely depressed or forlorn, and others are vaguely hopeful and romantic. I'm afraid I'm not too sure what else I can say about your writings. They contain a lot of what I consider to be good writing: emotional and thoughful content in your writing. I suppose I could suggest that for a reviewer, I find it difficult to say anything because there aren't many details in your poems. I am a reviewer who likes each entry to be a story, I am a day-logger myself, and so I don't mind day logs. But you don't have the day log quality to your writing: as a whole, you've chosen that day logging is not the way you want to write. So, I dunno. It was difficult to review because you haven't got many details.
Literary style/Grammar: 7/10
You have a very good literary style. Your writing is unique, in both format and the way you present your content. Your punctuation runs fine, as punctuation is really subjective in poetry. Your grammar seems to be fine for the medium as well.
Layout: 9/15
I must admit, I'm not a fan of designs with nudity, simply because I think that there are equally expressive ways to get a point across in a layout. But, the design beyond that is nice. It's a clean layout, easily navigable and organized. I don't much like that the navigation is so far to the right of the design, when I think it could probably serve equally well on the left.
Contact: 4/5
Guestbook, Notes, Email.
Extras: 5/5
Counter, Sketches, Photos, Cast, Explanations...
Ethereality: 5/15
Erm...I guess a few points here for your formatting in your poems. You had a lot of unique ways of accenting and formatting poems. That was really neat to read.
Will I return? 1/5
Nah, probably not.
Total: 67/100 --- D
Additional comments:
Sorry that score is so low. I didn't know what other ethereal things that you had.
