Hey friend, I am back to leave another review for one of your fantastic poems! One thing I love about your poetry is that you always make it so unique and beautiful. I noticed that this was your first poem for NaPo, plus the vegetable theme is amazing. Long live Young Vegetable Society!! Let's jump right into the review:
But If you’ve ever wondered
what it takes to be a veggie, for goodness’
sake, just follow these tip-tap steps
to live as they say; a ve-ge-table-s life
The first thing I want to comment on is the relaxed, feel that this poem has. You do such a good job being silly, but also having the serious tone to it, like we're reading an instruction manual almost.
Don’t let them define your purpose
and your in-dom-it-able
-ness. Show no fear and
shout: “I’m a veggie, hear me, and I’m
vegging all about!”
I love the alliteration that you use throughout the piece. I also like how you uniquely broke up the words, as if they aren't being pronounced or said properly almost. I found it quite funny to read, actually, but it also showcases your amazing poetry, reading abilities. I found it cool how you broke up the lines too. For example, some these lines just stop halfway through and continue on the next one. I thought it was super cool that way. I noticed that you did do a bit of rhyming, too, especially in the last stanza, it seems like we rhyme a bit one every second line. I don't have a lot of critiques, because I can tell that this was a very relaxed and fun poem to write. My only recommendation would be to have more sensory details or things that we see as well instead of just many instructions. Overall, though this was fantastic! Keep on writing, and I look forward to reading more.
Your friend,
Ellie
