Hey friend! I discovered this beautiful poem of yours, so I decided to stop by and leave you a review. Let's jump right into the review, and not waste any time:

First of all, wow, what a beautiful graphic you have here! Right from the title, it's really catchy. I liked the play on words that you use with March and marching. I also really love how you use the different months of the year to tell the story. It's so interesting, because it's like these different months, having a conversation with each other. We can interpret this as a literal conversation between people with these names, or, we can interpret it as different months that you have experienced in your life and how they relate to your emotions., for example, you talk about how "January was long gone and so was December". I love how you talk about these as if they are people, but we also get the literal sense of them being months that happened long ago. One part that I really liked is when you asked the question "where has February gone? just as I turned around it was gone". I find that the tone you use makes it really easy to follow along, but it's also very relatable to my own life. Sometimes life just goes by so fast and suddenly you stop… And you wonder… Where the heck has time gone!?

I found this poem to be a little bit comedic too. For example, when you say February was 28, but some say it was 29. But then you bring in this more dramatic effect when you say "and now it's lost". Overall, I found this to be very enjoyable. It's like a conversation, literal and symbolic. Your graphics were beautiful as well! I really hope to read more like this soon and I hope you have a fantastic day!

Your friend,
Ellie

Hello Hello, I hope you enjoying your day and don't mind me poping in with a review. The art is Nice and makes the writing pop without being distracting as a whole. On top of that, the way it is laid out helps with the flow and keeps the readers' eyes on the right path.

As for the writing itself, this is a very solid piece that plays with a relatable theme. I am sure all of us wish time could slow down as well as mourn the past in some way. You can feel an almost bitter-sweet mood carry through the words in a very concise way. Although I am not the best with rhyme schemes I do enjoy how it is used here.

Overall keep it even if it feels like time goes too fast and remember to drink water.

Thank you Lily! <3 I'm glad you liked it.

Wow first of all, I LOVE the art and secondly this poem is honestly beautiful and it’s so good it made ME sad even though I’m extremely happy right now(except the fact that I still have 2 hours of school left around)! This is beautiful and it made me realise once again how fast time goes and when we want it to go slow it never does and when we want it to go fast it goes slow. In addition to that, when we grow old we will always think of the good old days and when we’re young we will always want to grow up fast…

Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you understood the meaning of tha poem :)



Noelle, you can lead a writer to their computer and give them coffee, but you can't make them write.
