 Matthew James Current 2008-01-18 . chapter 1Good work here. While the rhyming feels a bit unnatural in parts, on the whole you use it well and it supports the overall voice and tone of your poem. Characterizing the speaker's eyes as having a wasteland inside them was a powerful image and lent the piece strength and solid imagery which you built off of nicely.
I'd say keep on writing and refining your ability to use rhyme scheme, which is very difficult, and all the kinks will work themselves out. This was a good, creative piece and a pleasent read, well done. Let me know if this review was unsatisfactory, if you would like more reviews, or if there's anything else I can help you with. |
