Young Writers Society

I highly recommend you listen to Reverie by Claude Debussy, preferably Lang Lang's version because it is simply exquisite. Hope you like the poem

Hi there! This is Ina aka loveissourgrape back to review/comment about a poem of our lovely writer, @alpacaboss! I love your writings, by the way. Since last poem I've read was your mystery/suspense poem, this fantasy poem like changed my reading palate. And yes, I've been also reading most of your writings, especially your poems, but your stories are nice too.

First impressions. The cover art of this was very pretty and I wanted to read something light after reading the last poem I read and reviewed. Then I saw this poem only had one review so I wanted to write one.

Little comments [my thoughts about Reverie]. I see in the comments that this poem is inspired by a song. I haven't heard it though, might later since it is highly recommended by the writer. This poem reminds me of a series I've been writing. Since the narrator feels like a girl, to me. because of the description of "the airy outfit", a dress. From Act 1 to 3, felt so good to read. It feels like a pleasant dream or a imaginary world you want to be in but it is unreal. Kind of sad too.

Actual review. The plot is all great and nice. There are a few lines that do not rhyme and cuts off the rhythm of the poem but that's okay. You can learn more or it is your writing style. Kind of seems like my writing style. But we all know both of us can improve on that type of mistake that writers who are still learning their own talent and we have time to do that because we are young writers. But you are a fast learner when it comes to the site and to improving mistakes in your work. And that is good too. Keep it up because I love it! Everybody likes to see improvement in each young writer in this site c:

Note for the writer: I would love to see your improvement on your skills in writing, reviewing and grow in this site like I am with other old writers here. I could also PM you here about the plot of my story series. If you want to see it first. I hope this helps! Have a great day/night!

Love a music + poem pairing-> this is neat!

Hello, I hope you're having a wonderful day! I'm here to leave a quick review on this lovely poem of yours.

I actually listened to Rousseau's cover of Reverie while reading this poem, and it is a gorgeous piece of music. Your poem perfectly captures the magic of Debussy's piece. The dream sequence in the poem articulates well with the gentle notes of the piano.

I also like how you structured the poem into three acts. At first, I thought they were correlated with the music itself like Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, which didn't actually happen as I kept listening. After rereading it, I realized that the poem was written out like it was a dream itself. That's my interpretation at least. The first act, aptly titled "Awaken" is about starting the dream, and the third act ends as the narrator begins to wake up. Which makes me sad when I was in a really pleasant dream.

Overall, this was a stunning poem, and I really enjoyed it!
