 Kate Marshall 2009-04-25 . chapter 1I personally would like some more punctuation. You didn't use that much and that can confuse some readers.
Milky rain that weeps into my hair
I drink that water
And it enters me like the sea
I listen to that water
And it lulls me into a trance
That first line I copy/pasted I love. You use amazing imagery all through this that really suits the theme. It sounds earthy and it fits the tone.
And then I liked your repetition you used. Besides your repetition, there wasn't much rhythm. So I appreciated your using it to give a more definite rhyme. :)
"The emerald blood of the woods is still in me"
I adore the image of "emerald blood". I think it's genius. Especially in the comparison of the woods. When I read it in the summary, I aleady loved the poem. It's such a strong line. xD

I love the imagery on this poem! Your word choices were fresh and earthy, and it echoed the idea of the poem very nicely.
One thing that had me kind of confused was the "suicides" and such mentioned. I know it was a metaphor, but it was so obscure it kind of left me in the dark.
Nice work with this poem. |
