Heya, Kazeybear! Casanova here for a review!
So, I've changed up my reviewing style just a bit. First I give you the good, and then I give you the bad(if there's any) and then I conclude! So, let's get to the review!
Anyway- the good. Like some of your other works I've seen- this is well thought out. I love the imagery and the wording. You take what you see, your image, put it in words, and place it in a format that WE as the readers envision. Breathtaking, yes. Amazing. Thank you for that- you really are a wonderful writer.
Before I get to the bad, I would like to point out some lines that I REALLY enjoyed.
"One day, we will die.
it is almost a certified fact.
no one will remember us.
Our memory will not live on."
For some reason these lines just connected with me.. For some reason I could read this as a suspense poem- but I also read it as a romance poem. What is the meaning? What's IT'S meaning- the thing we're supposed to gather from the poem itself?
The next thing I have to say is this- Capitalization. The first word of every sentence. Then again, I guess this could be included as style preferences and there's mine.
The other thing I have to say about this is this- in each stanza you have four lines. Until the last- it only has one line. This bugs me for a few reasons- the most being that I'm really OCD and it's far from even,and another being it seems to cut the flow off.
Ah, flow, my next point.
I'll only make one example of this. When writing poetry, you should count syllables. Too keep it even and flowing correctly. The lines,
"We will be alive,
but only in hearts and minds, not flesh.
Perhaps we will know what happens.
Perhaps we will not."
Don't properly show this- for the flow seems to differ within each line.
Anyway- good poem. I'll see if I can find more from you that I haven't already read.
Keep on doing what you're doing, and keep on keeping on.
Sincerely- Matthew Casanova Aaron.
