Hello, fellow traveler! I'm here to review.

I will say that I am impressed by how you explain what love is, in a philosophical, more realistic point of view. The theme of deep affection, that is complicated to describe, you explain it with a group of metaphors and similes, unraveling the dark secret to the public, teaching us that is a complex matter. Here you talk about the mysterious character known as the question mark and how he is important in the road of love, giving us a new interesting definition. Also, I like what you did with the poem, doing a question mark shape, using it as the main theme and the title of the written work.

The poem is well written that I don't know what I can tell you to improve. In fact, I read it a lot of times and it was difficult to find a mistake in this work. If I need to tell you something to make you better as a writer is the fifth sentence and they are minor details. It was a great sentence but I feel that you can improve it by adding a coma after "mark" and then add a "who". This is a preview of the sentence with the details I tell before: "The question mark, who can read through one's mind...". Why I'm telling this minor details? The fourth sentence was talking about someone who know the true meaning of love and when it comes the transition to the new sentence, you don't introduce the character. You keep writing as if the reader knew the character already. It's a minor detail that you can use it for future works. That is my opinion but the rest of the poem was fantastic.

Keep on writing. The creativity of this poem as well the message you deliver is the thing that make every writer different. You open my eyes to a new interpretation of love and I hope that future works of yours can make a change as this one did. The pen is mightier than the sword. Never stop writing!

Hey Dogs here to review!

First off... Wow... I'm just speechless. I really loved this poem, it was so meaningful.

Let's just not talk here, we are just going to get right into this review.

1) I really loved how this poem is written in the shape of a question mark. I was just expecting some simple little stanzas, but no. This is so much better, and I loved it as soon as I saw it.

2) Wording: I personally loved the word choice you used for this. I feel like the bigger and bolder words you use in your poems, the bolder and better the poem is. Great work in this area.

Alright I just have a quick question.

So the beginning was very hard for me to read. It was confusing. I was wondering if you did that on purpose to show if love was confusing. If not, I suggest that you make it easier to read. If so, if you made it confusing on purpose, I thought it was a great idea, to show how confusing love is.

I thought this poem was one of the most creative poems I've ever seen, and I really loved it! I hope to see more works like this from you in the future!

Keep up the great writing,
Love,
Dogs
