Hello!
VioletFantasy here to review this very powerful poem. I think you did a wonderful job! I love all of the imagery you used, especially in this stanza:
“Come.
Steal away my agony and pain.
Bear me to a place fair to look upon
And leave me there to the glowing starlight.
Leave me to the butterflies that float upon the caressing breezes.
Leave me to the jewel of a sun,
Lying majestically on its blue cushion of silk.”
The imagery is absolutely beautiful. It shows a person longing for something that they don’t have, but could have with the help of someone else.
Also, I wanted to mention how you turn the imagery around in the second half of the poem. It is suddenly talking about how the joy in everything has faded away. I think this is very clever!
“ The sun holds no more joy;
I no longer welcome its bright enchantments.
The butterflies lie still.
I can see no more. ”
I only found one thing that I thought was a little odd. It is in this stanza:
“
Go.
Die.
Go from the world,
Don’t look back:
There is no one there for you.
How dare you imprison me in this living Hell?
I am a prisoner of my
Thoughts,
Actions,
Dreams.”
Thoughts, actions, and dreams are all capitalised. To stay true to the structure of your poem, I would suggest not making them capitalised. You don’t have to change it, though. It still is really good as is.
Overall, I thought this was awesome! Great job. Keep writing!!
