Heya Silver! Incoming review!
I liked this poem. It made me really think. The first thing my mind went to was miscarriages. It could also have another meaning I can't decipher. Anyway, onto the review!
I'll start with critique. Your first two lines start with somewhere and I'm thinking you can change the first one to some day. I say this because the poem is relatively short and there isn't any consistent repetition. I think it would flow better and also make some more sense.
I personally don't think wildflowers work too well in this situation. Typically when I think of tombstones, I think of the roses or bought bunches of flowers someone puts on the grave. I never think of wildflowers because of how almost insensitive it is to give of a random flower you found in someone's front yard. Although, I can see how this could fit with the theme.but i am standing among the wildflowers
Ok, done with critique, time to praise your work! I love the themes of sorrow, regret, loss, and even selfish anger. I think my favourite part was
It signals to me how you have lost so much more than this other person. The former merely just lost their life, you, however, have lost the person, the ability to make new memories with the person, and the ability to remember the person with their help.you think this is your funeral
The length of your poem also reminds me of someone so overtaken by anger. They're seething. You ask what is wrong and they give one quick whip, restraining their anger, but you feel the breath of it in their words.
Well, that's all I have for today. I hope you found some of this useful! I love all of your poetry, this one was no different <3 Anyway byeeeeeeeeeeee<33333
