Gorgeous visualizations coming from this poem here. One technical error:
Is this perhaps supposed to be "They thought that they could steal that tear. . ."? If so, though, that causes an irritating unintentionally alliterative "th" sound, so maybe you should just stick with "they thought they".
A similar case of repetitive word choice is found in these two lines:
Maybe instead you can try "searching for brilliance"? (Lovely line, by the way.)
Hm... those are the only qualms I have with it! Although it is worth noting that the second stanza appears significantly shorter and weaker than its predecessor, and it's more than slightly off-putting, as well as not being particularly aesthetically pleasing. Of course, that's just me being picky, though!
Anyway, I really, really love this poem. You had me from the first line. Such stunning mental images and morbidly beautiful concepts, such as hanging oneself from the moon with a strand of hope. I've always loved crows as a motif in literature, and I feel you made good use of them. I find it very inspirational among other things and I find myself motivated to write poetry all the sudden, something I haven't done in over a month!
I look forward to becoming your poetry buddy!
Thank you so much for this review!
I'm glad to have inspired you. I hope we can help each other.
Yes, the missing "they" was a mistake, and thanks for pointing out the repitition! I was worried about handling the last stanza too much, but if you think it needs some fleshing out I'll look into it
Thanks again!
