 Lady Sakaki 2008-05-18 . chapter 1Hm...The truth? What truth are you talking about, exactly? This poem is too abstract, something that a lot of people think is alright to do when writing poetry.
What truths and realities about the world makes you question as "the truth"? It can be plenty of things...millions.
However, I do like your line, "Salted air inhaled cautiously." Diction is very important in poetry and I liked the word choice you used in that line, "inhaled cautiously." I think maybe coming up with a different word for "swallow" could give your poem a distinct approach to the usual "accept the truth" tone. Perphaps "indgest", "devour", or maybe "fathom," since that word relates more to what I believe you are trying to present in your poem.
Presenting this poem in a more concret way will defientely help it out. I do encourage you keep your creative format. That's always a nice touch.
I hope you don't take this personally or believe that I insulted your poem. I'm just hoping to help you improve your creative writing. I took a poetry class in college and my minor is Creative Writing, so I'm not making this up.
Good luck in all your stories and I hope to hear from you soon!
P.S. Yes, I am a horrible speller...for shame! Take care. |
