 Tatsu-Dreamer 2004-03-12 . chapter 1There are no words to describe this. It was perfect. I loved how you switched from the overall view in the begining to the personal first person view in the middle and end. It made your poem speak to all and then make it personal. on a more specific note, I found a few spots that i didn't think flowed as well of could have. One spot is the stanza "I thought I was safe in your arms,/ Protected from those awful things,/ Never to see those harms." Well you wouldn't see harms, you would experience them, so maybe the last line could be Never to "experience" or "encounter" those harms. And the next stanza with "that sometimes those around you will hurt you the most" isn't it those closest to you? just an idea. The rest of it and even these spots I mentioned are still very very good. |
