The Flame

Hey friend, Ellie is back with another review! I recently stumbled upon your poetry and I really like it. I find it simple to read, but also very well thought out and powerful. You have a very engaging tone that draws me in, especially in this poem.

I loveeee how you wrote this. The lines flow so well because of the alliteration and repeated sounds you use. For example, flame and flickering, in the first line. Or things like diminishing and death, or assuming and soon. I see these lines throughout the entire poem. It feels like I am speaking some sort of puzzle, actually, that flows off of the tongue very well.

And it goes on to live the next moment to come,

That is something I would like to become.

Hello!
This is a beautifully written poem with vivid imagery and a powerful message. The metaphor of a flame flickering in the wind is used to represent the resilience and perseverance of the human spirit, which is a common theme in poetry.

The use of repetition, particularly in the phrase "the next moment," adds to the sense of continuity and resilience that the poem conveys. The line "the darkness of others causal opinion" is also particularly striking, as it suggests that the speaker is not deterred by the negative opinions of others and is determined to keep going despite any obstacles.

Overall, this poem is a powerful reminder of the importance of resilience and determination in the face of adversity. The language is simple but effective, and the message is universal and timeless. Well done.

Hi! Here for a quick review.

The poem was short, but filled with a lot of meaning in it. It helps us draw inspiration from all those little things we oversee in life. Even the flame stands strong after several gushes of wind, then why can't you? In this world where people's attention span had fell down much, this surely has a lot to tell packed in a small poem.

Looking forward for more works like this!

Hi, just here to leave a small review!

I like the way you spaced the poem, no verse is too long and none is too short, they are quite unified and pleasing to the eye as such.
Describing the natural givens and binding them to each other to create a cycle of happenings is quite a good choice to make, very enjoyable and gets the reader to think and engulf themselves in the metaphors. Like this, you created a harmonious, yet mysterious image in front of the reader’s eye.
The use of first point of view compliments the poem a lot which I personally like a lot.

Keep up the good work!
