I saw this Ode of Oceanflame Review which made me rather happy. The writer was reviewing literary blogs and seemed fairly pleased with my poetry blog.

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

Content: 4 stars

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: 3 stars

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: 4 stars

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.

Overall: 3 1/2 stars
