MEOW! Hello, friend! My name is Ellie and today I will be reviewing using my very own Black Cat Review Method! It is very similar to the incredible YWS S'more Method but I have Halloween-ified it and made it spooky! My little black cat friend, Vladimir, wants to offer his opinion on your amazing literary piece:
Mystical Witch Hat - What I See, Observe, and Interpret
This is a very lovely, sweet poem. You mention that you wrote it when you were ten- WOW! That is incredible. My interpretation of this poem is that the wolves represent something in your life that hurts you or brings you fear. perhaps a person who has caused you harm. They chase you around, or hassle you. When you hear them, you want to ignore or avoid them.
You see birds, that are free to fly in the sky, as with to be like they are. If you were a bird, you would escape the circumstances you are living in.
I really love this poem. It was simple, but very meaningful for me. I felt like I could relate strongly to the words. I am impressed by the rhyming skills you had as a ten year old! Like Ari mentioned, the rhyme of them and wind flows nicely.
Awesome work!
Vladimir’s Advice - Suggestions for Improvement
the wolves chasing me around.
Whenever I hear a wolf's howl,
I always turn around.
you rhyme the word around with, well, around. I love the symbolism of these words but maybe using different ones would be less repetitive, unless you were trying to make a point with that.
You also use the word bird twice in these lines:
The birds fly before me.
How I wish to be like them.
If only I was a bird,
I am not saying that this is a bad thing, but maybe you could change the language slightly. For the line, "if only I was a bird', perhaps you could say something like "if only I could soar in the sky" or "if only I could get away".
Jack O’Lanterns - My Favourite Parts and Praises
I am really impressed with how well you wrote when you were ten (and how well you write now, too!). I love how you wrote about standing upon the moonlight. This line really stood out to me. What does it mean to stand upon the moonlight? To me, this means standing in isolation. You are the one light surrounded by darkness. You still shine.
