This post will contain some litblog reviews. They were found randomly around the net, and I shall rate them using a 5-star scale (5 being the highest and 0 being the lowest mark).

Comments are welcome, and if you think I misjudged your blog, feel free to tell me why. Reviews for my blog are also welcome, only do note that (at this time) it is still under construction.

Also do note that the stars were created by me so if you plan on using them (and one would wonder why, anyway) go look for better stars to steal. I like mine.

Kristin Thomas Spam Poetry

Description: A poetry blog which feautures poetry created entirely using lines from email spam.

Content:

Explanation: Despite the fact that all the lines of every single poem in this blog was created using the cheesy annoying lines from spam, they somehow connect and make sense! Kristin Thomas' original poems, created way back in 2003, were a bit so-so. However, once she got the hang of it the poems became not only entertaining and hilarious, but addressed serious problems as well.

Then again, if you think about it, the messages in spam are absurd in the first place, and I commend Miss Thomas for thinking up something this ingenious!

One of her favorite poems of mine is the one she posted 02/13/04. "Just Vote Bush. Your Wife Will Never Know."

Design:

Explanation: The website is dull, but lookable. The color scheme is not exactly pleasing to the eye, but it works. There is not much to comment on, save a SPAM poster advertising "19 new ways to enjoy Spam (the food, not the junk mail)" which is quite cute.

Sidebar:

Explanation: The sidebar holds the explanation for the site, which effectively tells us about what the site is, as well as newspapers and magazines the blog has been featured in. Besides that, there is only the poster stated earlier, a few links relating to the author, and the archives. If you're a link clicker, you're pretty much stuck here until you decide to go to Google and look for another site of interest.

Bard Marc Gunn

Description: Celtic Poems written by the Celtic Folk Singer, Marc Gunn.

Content:

Explanation: The poems are all free verse, do not seem to have a flowing rhythm, and can conjure strange, unusual images into the mind such as guitar-playing angels. The poems are msotly theme-related, and the most recurring themes are that of cats and of love and drinking (be it of tea or liquor). The ones on cats AND love are highly amusing.

The Irish-style poetry is quite different from the English most of us are used to, but one gets the hang of it after a few poems. They are quick and if you want clear imagery you may have to read it slower than you usually read poems, or you might actually have to read it twice. That being said I think his poems are really worth a look.


Design:

Explanation: The design is pretty simple. The background gives it a real Irish feel, but besides that the site neither looks visually lush nor annoyingly messy. One may also notice the large number of cat-related things here and there.

Sidebar:


Explanation: The site has two bars, one on top and one on the side. They bring you around a bunch of websites which are all apparently made by the author! Despite this, they are all quite unique as they cover different things, and lead you into account sites that may be of interest as well. "Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers" is a really interesting site, in my opinion.

Santymental- Santy's Poetry Blog

Description: A collection of poems that deal with death, war and other topics of the underworld.

Content:

Explanation: The poems leave you shaken and with horrible images in your mind. The poems and genre are good, but way too common, as poems like these highly abound around the internet, especially in flash movies and the like, which are far more impressive.

The author is very good at twists. When you think you're reading one of his happier poems, he suddenly flips around and shocks you at the last line/s. One problem for me was that some of the poems were horribly similar in theme/story to some old songs. May be coincidental, but it does leave you wondering.

Another striking thing about the blog was that even the sidear was quite insane in nature and had crazy messages your average joe would never write. And I think, that is the entire point.

Design:

Explanation: The site uses circles quite well, though like the poem genre it is also quite common. The color scheme, on the other hand is quite good and is somewhat forest-themed. It does clash with the poem's themes a bit, but it does add some uniqueness to the blog. The only thing that was annoying was a google ad, which ruined the color scheme with its flashy neon colors.

Sidebar:

Explanation: As stated earlier, the sidebar is somewhat creepy with its insane messages. Besides that, it has a google ad, archives and a counter. Would have been completely boring had it not been for the creepiness.

Steve Mueske's Writing Blog

Description: A collection of free-verse poems.

Content:

Explanation: The poems are well written, and very descriptive. The problem is, they are very confusing! They seem to jump from one scene or one topic to the next. Despite that, the author seems to be a master of using figurative speech, and one often has to read between the lines and morph the mental image formed into something more realistic. However, most of the poems are just too crazy and not translatable into layman's.

Design:

Explanation: Simple, but elegant.

Sidebar:

Explanation: The sidebar has links that would be useful... if you studied at the University of Minnesota. Besides that, there is nothing of interest.

So far, I have been able to make some themed banners for my blog. (This one has the "Stuff about Poetry" banner)

I have also created the Marle animation below using game sprites (also changed the colors). The sprite and character is copyright to Square-Enix.

Keep up the good work
