Hello there! I hope you're having a happy review. Which is why I am here! Let's get started in the review shall we?
I always hated real conversations.
They always end up in an awkward silence
As an opening line, I liked this. It was your word choice which really drew me in.'Hated real conversations,' is such a strange opening line that I couldn't help but be intrigued.
Instant messaging for me any day.
I love the humor in this line. Many people will be able to relate to this fairly easily. Since instant messaging is very popular and the 'internet generation' is growing in population.
Now there’s nothing I despise more
Than a phone vibration or a message sound.
It’s the pure symbol of a dying friendship,
And I couldn’t lose you. Not now.
This stanza is the best in the whole poem - not to say that the others aren't good. It's just that this poem will really hit a lot of people close to home. I myself have had a lot of friendships shattered due to sociol networking and would rather just talk face to face.
But I’ve already done that.
In eight neat lines.
It's a rather sad ending. Espically when a relationship can be destroyed in a matter of eight lines. It makes me wonder about the sistuation the poet is going through. Why is the friendship broken? These questions flood my mind when I read the poem.
It was very enjoyable - albeit sad - but the bitterness in the poem was very useful in drawing emotion from the reader. Great job!
