It could be improved on, though.
Don't take this the wrong way, but this reminds me of those positive affirmations you find on tiny posters with pictures of beach sunsets in people's bathrooms.
You reviewed my "Magickal Thinking" earlier. That started out as something like this, just some dry philosophy cut off from the meat and potatoes world. Then I jazzed it up a bit with some characters and setting and imagery, which are what this lacks. |
 Kytha 2008-08-03 . chapter 1Good work, it did make me think.
One little comment (and I'm not sure if it can be considered "constructive criticism" because it's not bad). I glanced at a few of your other poems (those that I read were quite good), but I noticed that they usually fall under the same or similar structure. It's not a bad thing, but I think you should try writing some freeverse poetry, stuff that doesn't have a lot of structure, i.e. four lines to a stanza, rhyme scheme, italics, whatnot. Give it a shot, you never know what you might discover.
And hey, I'd like to see what kind of short stories or novels you have up your sleeve. |
