Posies

Coffee is brown if you make it just right.

Who cares if the posies are red, purple, or white?

Because sitting and sipping is easier indeed

Than losing our heads over silly old weeds!

Review

Hey there Infinite Rectangles. Lizzy here for a review of another one of your poems. In the spirit of the new year, I am trying to write better reviews. Just hold on while I try out this new style.

Length: This element is something I often point out in my reviews. I've read quite a few of your poems and they are all pretty short. But, the length of your poems, is what encouraged me to read more. 4 lines is short and I think you could add on a but to the second line. The next step I would take would be to split line 2 up once you revise.

Grammar: Hmm. It is hard for me to critique here because I am not great at this either. I didn't see any mistakes. You would have to ask someone who critiques poems more often.

Content: As reading through my review and once reaching this category, you may say finally. Alright now onto the content of your nice, little poem. If you put all of the deeper meanings aside, I think other reviews guessed at these, it is a cute little poem talking about flowers. My own inference would be you are talking about life. The old idea of do t worry about the little things, and focus on the big things. Correct me if I am wrong.

Praise: In my new style I have decided to save my praise for poems until the end. Yes, I liked your poems even though I had just a few problems with your poem. I'm not quite sure how to say I liked it.

Alright that is it, just a quick little review.

This is absolutely adorable! It is clear, to the point, and very sweet. I see absolutely no problems with this poem, it's very enjoyable. You know, I'm not sure if this is what you were going for, but I think you could make this poem go a little deeper, too. For example, I see the flowers as people, and the different colors as races or opinions or genders, etc. And I see the coffee as their personalities. Thus, the meaning of the poem could actually be kind of like, 'As long as a person has a good personality, who cares about their race?' Deep, right? I don't think that was what you were going for, but you know, that's kind of what it said to me.
Thanks for the sweet poem, keep up the good work!

Hey there again! Your style of writing is so pure and lighthearted that it puts me in a wonderful mood. I want to cuddle up with an InfiniteRectangles poetry book and sip some coffee or possibly cocoa. Your style is so clean and wonderful. Honestly, if you wrote some more I would be tempted to help you compile them into a book. I am decent at illustrations and drawing. I could also help you edit them too. Just a thought. That's how much I like them! After while, crocodile! -BlueDaisy

Thank you for the review! I am thinking about compiling my poems into a book when I get enough of them, and if I decide to I will let you know :3 Thanks for the offer to help!
