Iridescent Thoughts

In My Thoughts

A new epoch had begun,

bringing with it, iridescent thoughts 

and mellifluous music.

All feelings of solitude had been banished,

but were instead replaced with oblivion,

as it would seem as if she became

a sort of somnambulist.

Tiptoeing through the chambers of her mind,

discovering more and more ethereal feelings and events,

A serendipity had occurred,

the course had changed and the water was clearer,

and the feeling was ineffable.

Hello! Iamawriter here for a review!

I really loved this poem. I did have to look up some words in the dictionary, but your word choice and imagery are excellent. The connotations of these words fit the poem perfectly.

The only problems that I had were in line 5. In line 5 I feel that it isn't necessary to say "but were." Personally, I feel it would flow better if you just took them out.

I hope this was helpful.

Keep writing,
Iamawriter

Thank you very much!!

Hey! I'm just here for a quick review. First of all, I really enjoyed the poem. It really conveyed the message of being enamored by a boy even though some of the phrasing was kinda out of this world.

Which brings me to my first critique. Throughout the poem, you use very big, uncommonly used words- it kinda feels like you wanted to say "happy" but looked into a dictionary for a word that sounded more professional, like "serendipity'. Now that's sensible, but I have never in my life heard the word somnambulist. I couldn't really understand some of the lines because of this. I'd recommend downgrading the big words a bit.

Also, "ethereal" kind of sounds like something relating to angels or fairies, and doesn't seem to fit in the poem. Maybe try to pick a word that sounds more "in this world".

Thank you and keep writing!
