Little Bird

Hi, Al here for a review!

I like the poem 'Little Bird' in a sense that it speaks about how people today act selfish and proud, but there is nothing for them to keep and be proud of. Also, your title 'Little Bird' speaks about how animals have no care in living luxuriously and nonchalantly, a total opposite of humans.

At first, though, I thought you're comparing you're little bird to how humans live. Then I heard of Kings and whatnot. And I think that part is a little to far from the rest of the poem except for the rhyming part. I advise you to add few verses that show human to bird comparison; it's a bit cliche to compare humans to animals but it really works. Then add some verses about the kings of these and that, not just two.

Plus, it's a bit weird because you talked about three things here: your life, the bird and other people's lives. There a great combo to fix together in a poem, but I think you need to connect them properly because I can't get the story right. Again, add some verses to the poem. Don't worry about the length because it's a story on it's own!

Bear in mind that I'm not the best writer out there. I would just like for you to know about the things in my noggin'.

Here's my favorite part:

I look at you, Little Bird,
I look at your broken wings.
And I wonder how, with all the misery in this world,
Still there are people who live like kings

In that first stanza with all the commas, I think it might flow better if you make them into separate lines.

Seriously, Adriana!
I loved this poem of yours! it's the best I've read in a While and I just can't believe it was your first. It deserves a feature, you know!!

I used to have friends, but now they are gone.
I used to have a girl, who was pretty like a swan.
And from all the money I had, now I have none.

^ And the rest are pretty darn good

I look at you, Little Bird,

^ Good job there
(There is a good flow here as you continue where you left off. Thumbs up)
They are the kings of selfishness
The kings of pride
And I am still here, missing my bride
(But here, the flow is kinda missing, according to me)
Fly when you are ready, Little Bird,
And take with you this kiss
Tell my girl that << cut "that" followed by a coma
She is the only thing I miss

I think this is a good piece of work
Tho, there are few things which would've looked nicer... atleast in my perspective -

Overall, good thinking. I loved the concept of the bird. Well, one more thing - I had the urge to read more as I felt something was missing.. may be this would've been better off if made a bit longer? I was just thinking...

Then again, this was interesting. Keep writing!

Hey there, I really liked this!

Still there are people who live like kings.

They are the kings of selfishness,
The kings of pride.
And I am still here, missing my bride.

Fly when you are ready, Little Bird,
And take with you this kiss -
Tell my girl that
She is the only thing I miss.

I used to have friends, but now they are gone.Too direct
And from all the money I had, now I have none.Same issue here

Adriana!! This was very emotional and touching. The impact it implies and shows is very amazing. You make a wonderful poet ^^. I loved this. I can't really find anything new to be fixed it was so mind blowing. I really loved the details and the descriptions and I truly can't wait for you to write another poem. You're amazing! Good luck and may you get many helpful reviews. <3

Awwww.... Okay I read the poem and I love the theme of the little bird with the broken wing. You've got a hidden poet in you. The poem was simple yet it conveyed your message across to the readers. It was understandable. And I feel sorry for the person who's lost everything. I like how you described,

Awesome Adriana! This poem definitely made me think, it made me question a few things, it was really powerful. And that's how a poem should be. In my opinion. They should get the reader to feel something other than entertainment. Don't get me wrong, entertainment is a good thing, but other feelings should be encouraged as well, as I believe. Other than a few missing commas, there is nothing wrong with this poem. Are you sure it's your first? I think you should continue on with poetry, because you're really good at it. Keep writing, talk to you later, and may the Force be with you.

Awesome poem Adrianna! No mistakes as far as i can see!
Keep writing! <3 Aku

I can't find much to critique. I'm not the best of poets myself and I think this one is structured and written well.

They are the kings of selfishness
The kings of pride
And I am still here, missing my bride

This is a magnificent piece or writing you have here. Your style in this poem is great, and I can understand what it is talking about-it's just not a huge jumble of some words. I see that all of the 'ending words' rhyme, so it has a nice flow to it.

Great work! I can wait to read some more!
