 lebuffle 2008-08-30 . chapter 1Nice job. You thought outside the box, and I like that.
I can really feel the anger in this poem - accentuated by the use of metaphor, to give it a literary, subjective feel, and the use of the present continuous tense in first person, which makes it sound realistic and monologue-like at the same time. All in all, the archaism of the style lends itself really well to the idea of madness. The structure resembles a stream of consciousness, but I like the way it ends positively. The repetition of the lines "Nothing that is so is so" builds up real tension, and that last line is a lovely relief. |
