There was some verb tense switching, and some passages that could have been better, but overall, it was a decent job.

Thank you. I've written this a long time back and posted it on HFC or whatever and it didn't get as good of a review as I thought and I left it to sit since now.

Ah, after several days of wading through the swamp of eternal Fix (my word for n00b Fics), I have finally found a poem worth reading, by a poet known to me and others. My day is now complete.

Oho. This is good - I mean, Solidus does Magical Realism quite well, don't you think?

Magical Realism? Well, I just saw a poem, personally, but...

Pretty good. I have a vague recolection of reading this somewhere... not sure though. Maybe I'm imagining it.

When you gonna post another actual story, Solidus?

Sorry, MCC. English development Jargon. Magical Realism is when you describe something ordinary and everyday with such 'surreal' adjectives and such that you actually portray a realistic situation as 'heavenly'

If you want a GREAT example of this, and symbolism, read "The Bucket Rider" - By Franz Kafka. It's only three pages long, but it's well worth it. Find it in "Elements of English (Ontario Edition) - Grade 11."

Solidus does Magical Realism quite well. His descriptions evidently act on the moment.
