Heya, Audy! Casanova here to review for you!
So, I do my reviews a bit differently. I list the good, then the bad, then I top it off with a conclusion. Bear with me! The only thing's I can think of that's wrong with this poem are /style/ preferences. Anyway, to the review!
In all honesty this was a really good poem. Well thought out, good imagery, almost everything just... Fell into place I guess you could say. It's breathless the way you mold your words into something so artistic- refreshing to see a style such as this go so far. It's really amazing, so I give you free and three props for that!
Before I get to the,"Bad, the nitpicks, the errors, the flaws, or whatever," I would like to say a couple lines that really stuck with me, the ones I felt were the best out of the entire poem.
"I am girl who sleeps with the wind, flighty on my canvas, I paint the love she holds for the earth, I paint the paths she carries us on..."
These lines are seriously breathtaking- I love them.
But they're also part of my next part.
First thing- the format of this poem wasn't as I'm used to- it wasn't bad but it wasn't,"BAM," either.
The next thing is something that is definitely style preference- capitalization of the first word of every line. I had it ingrained in my skull for a long time when it comes to poetry- and it's one of the first things I look at for some reason. I know you don't /have/ to, but it's fun to see.
The next thing is in the line,"I am girl who sleeps with the wind..."
I couldn't but think you missed putting an,"a," between,"am," and ,"girl," but I could be mistaken. In my opinion this makes the line flow better.
Really the only /bad/ things I have to say are capitalization, punctuation, and flow. But again- these are strictly style preferences and really the only thing I've been looking at in poems today.
Anyway- keep on doing what you're doing and keep on keeping on.
Your friend- Matthew Casanova Aaron.
P.S- Review day is still tomorrow at 9. correct?
