Hiya! Ley here to review.<3
First impressions... I saw the description of this poem, so I clicked it right away. I don't think you're even remotely crazy from this poem, either, by the way! My initial thought was that this poem flowed insanely smooth while I was reading it.
When I was reading this I felt... Ethereal, longing for more, kinda sad. This poem put me through so many different emotions-- but I was mostly focused on the word play and the descriptive language!
My favorite line/quote is...
my heart- a bird trapped beneath my ribs.
I can feel it, the wings pulsing against my veins.
I chose these two lines because you actually had me picturing a bird in someone's chest, flapping it's wings to make the chest rise and fall. It was the perfect way to enhance the dramatic theme you have going in this poem. Once again, the descriptive language is amazing!
Some things I would change would be...Not much, honestly. I wouldn't change anything written in the poem, but I do believe that it could benefit from some format and punctuation changes! I think in order to keep the same flow going you should either stick to lower-case or upper-case for the first words of each line! It would look way better, in my opinion.
I would also split the poem up into a few stanzas to make the reader pause and think after you get a point across!
Overall... This was an awesome read and I'm super glad you shared it with us! I can't wait to read more of your work in the future! Happy Writing~
With Love,
Leya
