Exam Day

Greetings Poet!

I'm going to make this very short, but I just had to say what an amazing poem you've written here and in a very amazing way too. The imagery in your poem is effective and paints a vivid picture of a mundane exam day.
Lovely how you managed to literally put this into a sort of "exam template", but only your very own template.

It is truly remarkable and incredibly awesome when you reflect upon it, but yes, that only if you understand it. It really is relatable!

That's it, that's all.
Long reviews dive in deep, but short reviews can still make a splash!

Me,
Rose

Hello,

this was absolutely hilarious. Precisely the trauma I will be experiencing next year- you seem to have a vast knowledge of different types of poems, whilst simultaneously writing simplistic yet relatable and concise poems. I love the format of the questions and the sardonic tone- keep it up!

I loved this so much. Time to answer the problems!!

8. The answer is obviously an octave.

9. The answer is an allusion.

10. B, C, D, E.

11. A student

12. A. A genuine plea to a godlike figure.

13. The curtains are blue.

14. Like a long-winded cry.

15. E.


I think I did great. You did great. (Please continue to write you're good at it!!!)

i genuinely love this poem. its short yet the word choice is canny and sharp. as a student myself, who happens to be in middle school, this is something i can honestly relate to. the imagery here is great as well. amazing work!

hi i'm OBSESSED with this poem.

it's been so long since i formally took an exam like that but this whole experience feels so familiar. i love how it's formatted like the actual exam. i also love how the questions genuinely feel like exam questions, but then you start slipping in other answers/questions and im STILL reeling at some of them. i love the repetition in 10 to show the repetition of the exams. the shakespeare answers had me giggling. the curtains are blue was a great reference to that common literary analysis critique, and the unfinished part in 15 was GENIUS

my one critique of the poem is that the questions felt stronger than the poem they were analyzing, but that also might have been the intention. the poem really does read like something you'd see on an official exam, so it makes sense that the most appealing part would be the part that's more YOU

overall, though, i really loved this poem! and if there's a spot to shout-out the best poem of the year in this year's best/most awards all the way in december, i'm definitely picking this one.

STOP this set up is so creative and amazing it's just so much fun to read and engages the readers so well. Mostly because it's so relatable because like reading comprehension (ew). Making the format something we all have some trauma with is the best. Honestly I know reviews are to make works better or give feedback but this is just too amazing and there is nothing I would change, especially the copy write print. This is hilarious hope you did well on your exams! (also I don't dare answer the questions because this is the one time I can retaliate against reading comprehension with no consequences, but the question formats are very professional. >:) Maybe become exam maker in future?

8. D (i think?)
9. B (possibly E, if a mobile device was used instead)
10. E (& FGHIJ)
11. BCDE
12. yes
13. 3 possibilities for spot one * 2 for spot two * 1 for spot three = 3! = 6
14. Like hourglass sand spilling through holes in concrete walls just like a spilling burst of time amidst a long-winded cry through a foggèd glass
15.

this is a super fun poem, Plume! <3 (and the "Horror" category is definitely fitting as well XD)

This is really cool! <3

oh my GOSH Plume we have been needing an AP exam poem for forever (but most especially now) and this is BRILLANT. I applaud you. Reading this after all my tests this is making me laugh while shuddering about my scores, so this has an excellent branding of Horror and Humor too. Just— *chef’s kiss* so perfect.
