Your comment was posted, but it wasn’t long enough to count as a review. Reviews need about four complete sentences (at least 250 characters). Try writing another review that explains your thoughts in more detail — the author will appreciate it, and you’ll earn points for it.
Honest question, do you normally do this? I think you should stop if so. No offense, but I'm of the opinion translated poems across languages lose very distinctive spirits and meanings in the other language. Also, post some of those Swedish poems up then. Just my opinion.
Yeah, something is lost in the repetition here, the speaking voice in English seems to be Mother Goose and nursery rhyme. You tell me: is this better in Swedish? If yes, then don't bother with these translations if you think they don't make sense. At least offer the Swedish original with this. If no, then explain to me why the two differ, etc. If you're not sure, then take more time before posting. Because the problem is this; between the two languages the poem becomes almost two different pieces altogether. Metaphors do not, cannot, will not translate. It's about world view and dimension of viewing reality in this world we all inhabit. No two cultures view it the same way.
So Demoness, take that in mind, because while I could review this...it feels like its' been torn in half and hung on a noose until the nectar of life dribbled from the toes of the poem so the children could wash in it on their birthday. Pretty twisted right? Respect your work and the languages you use to write them down; they have unique and independent qualities apart from each other, not in unison.
i enjoyed your poem but i kinda got lost towards the end. it just keot repeating in a way that loses my interests. i think that if you take away the ! at the end of the "you have to wake up" it would make it a little better. i am sorry if this wasnt the type of review you were looking for but it is how i feel about you poem.
I love how this poem makes the reader feel trapped in the scene. It's a really good poem but sometimes i think the point can be a little bit lost.
I took the poem to be about death and not being able to wake up and someone trying to bring them back around, but this stanza threw me a little. I like the twist at the end also, i think it leaves the reader with an after thought which is obviously the aim. Sorry if i have interpreted it wrong, if i have could you please let me know and i'll review it again
