Hey this is gem writing his review! I am rusty so take it easy on me XD.
I love this poem it took me a while to figure out the rhyme scheme but once I did everything fell into place! The first two verses are a little shorter than the rest and that made it feel a little choppy before I realized it was rhyme based, then I could easily follow the intended rhythm!
The imagery is amazing! You did a marvelous job with it, I could see the geisha, I could see the moths! It was like I was reading from some tapestry with striking images!
Here is a little critique!
"they can never meet in dune or afternoon"
This line feels a little bit off to me, the inline rhyme with the others feels a bit much.
"as he is summons to be a slave of sunrise"
Summons here should maybe be summoned. I think it would make more sense with prior wording.
I really liked these two lines in particular!
"his hair not yet fashioned into blinding white
brown eyes blindfolded by moonlight"
I think they have a mystery and appeal to them. They feel very descriptive and intense and they leave a comic image in my imagination.
This was gem trying to review! Keep writing! Stay well !
Take care of yourself friend!
