    It really takes effort and time to be able to make a narrative story, not to mention it being like a poem so I applaud you for that. :)

    However if you use this kind of concept and just make it into a story without the verses it will be probably better since the concept is absolutely intriguing. But that would be defeating the purpose of having it be related to Dante's Divine Comedy.

    I've never seen anything like this on mibba before, so hats off for originality.
    I'm honestly not a fan of narrative poetry, but I did find the concept of this very interesting, and I thought the imagery was really good. And the layout is beautiful.

    The story is very much like my homework I get set which i don't enjoy, poems. I don't dislike the storyline I think it is good but I just can't get the feel of it. Please continue writting and don't feel dishearted because I'm sure other people will enjoy this they just haven't found it yet.

    Actually the story is a narrative poetry with 3 verses per stanza and free form for the syllables. So there's really no rhythm to follow like the Divine Comedy itself. :) thank you though.. It's really hard to find someone to comment on my work who is "it's his/her cup of tea" HAHA!

    Here's what I love about comment swap: I am privileged to find interesting stories like this.
    Now, while I find the concept interesting and the layout lovely, I can't find a rhythem to read by. I'm not sure if there is one. I don't dislike it, it's just not my cup of tea.
    However, don't feel discouraged; keep writing. :)

    Comment Swap: It's a very interesting concept, but I manged to get through about three stanzas before giving up. I feel like im reading homework. I cant get a feel for the rhythm at all and really have no clue what's going on. I feel like only a certain kind of reader could find enjoyment from something like this. Im not saying its good or bad, i really dont know what makes good poetry so im no place to criticize, but its definitely not for me. Good luck
