 Taltush/MeiMei 2007-10-27 . chapter 1It was interesting and good until the very end - "I laid down in my bed". Laid? That should be lay. Once that is corrected, this poem can be complete. And, in fact, quite good. It's an interesting poem, with rather intriguing repetitions (the opening line, of course) that pull the reader in. There are several vivid, fascinating lines that stick with the reader ("An eager mind trapped within a slowed machine, the cogs jarring, etc."). The poem runs smoothly enough, with the occasional quick liner that gives it an interesting, rather chopped feel, almost disconcerting and confusing. The overall impression is positive. Aside from the rather horrifying mistake (mostly because it's at the end, less because it's actually frightening), this is a well-written, intriguing poem. Nice job. |
