Hi Alex! For the first time I got to see the "you haven't reviewed anything today so why not try this" message and so I came here xd
I already find the title interesting. I don't really know what to make out of it and my grammar-liking brain is not too fond of it but it's clearly deliberate xd Makes me think of the fact that we're one month away from Pride Month...
So after reading the poem I'm not sure what it is about but I really like your word choices. I just like how it flows and how it puts me in a peaceful state of mind. I also like the positivity with which the narrator sees their own body.
So I suppose the title and the repeating phrase means why not be proud of your own body? I choose to take that away from the poem and I like this message :3
Hey Tikaya, thanks for another wonderful review. Wow, that reviewing pop up is really a big deal for YWS's chronic reviewer, I can only imagine XD
Self love is clearly a great way to take it, you've clearly been getting better at decoding poetry it seems. For me, it's also about fascination, realisation and gratitude towards the divine forces at work. We often think how little we are in this world (which isn't wrong but may encourage the wrong thought sometimes like our existence means less. This poem dealt with the other expect- how important and worthy we must be if the same God who was busy making nature in all it's mountains, rivers, trees and others, took out the time to sculpt us with patience and love. We're just as beautiful and this is an amazing way to look at it. Also, there's this juxtaposition of human body with nature in the form of imagery. I've seen them done by some other poets and wanted to try my own version of it.
The thing about the pride month, it's so interesting how the similarity didn't strike until I was publishing this here. I guess you could take it that way as well and it'd be beautiful- a queer person finding acceptance in their body by comparing it to nature's wonders.
Thanks once again! I really appreciate your feedback, it always helps me know what got across and what didn't. Good day!
Hey there Alex!
here I can see the depiction of sand and soil as skin, oceans and seas as hair.I really liked your work, the vivid imagery about nature, earth. I love how it is in first-person point of view, from earth themself.
My favorite part is the
I'm not sure if I'm getting it right, but I think the infinite eyes meant all of the lives and mind- that's why the mention of connection and soul right? Let me know if I'm wrong.
That's all from my review. Thank you so much for writing and sharing your work ^^
Keep at it!!
Hey there, thanks for the input!
Actually this was quite interesting, in a good way. First, my intention wasn't for the narrative from nature's POV., but a Human's who is comparing their own bodily features to nature's aspects and embracing the fact that the Supreme Force that made those wonders also made him - signifying he's just as important and beautiful. But your interpretation holds from an uninformed perspective, certainly observative!
Next about the infinite eyes- I meant for it to signify their depth but your take is definitely more creative and connecting. I'm really loving your unique thought process after it, appreciate your efforts and time.
Omg this so cool! TvT
It's like two sides of a coin. Thank you for sharing your intended meanings, it has been my best review experience >////<
