Heya, Artemis28! This is Casanova here for a review!
Anyway, the first thing I'd like to say is that I liked the subject of this poem!
Now, the first thing I noticed that I didn't like was the repetition of,"Unmovable." Now, repetition can sometimes be a good thing- but you're pounding it into our heads that this thing is made of rock and isn't going anywhere through imagery and things. So, we get it. The repetition, at least to me, is getting sort of dull. It narrows the point, and makes it boring so-to-speak. You could do without the last two, having one in there doesn't hurt it too bad.
The next thing I noticed was if you're going to keep repetition- try to make it consistent. In the first three repeating parts of,"We are the four presidents:" you use,"Unmovable." But not in the fourth one. Why the change?
In my opinion you could get rid of the repeating parts and have something still good, you know. An example of this would be-
We are the four presidents:
Carved into stone,
Unmovable,
Intricate faces staring at nothing,
Stationary grey eyes forever fixed on the sky.
Standing strong against nature,
Holding firm against weathering
Fighting erosion with the mountain that is our home.
Thinking thoughts unknown to anyone else,
With opinions hard as rock and decisions that would need earthquakes
To change them.
Forever staring out into America,
Carved into the country we once ruled.
I think that is much better than the repeating pieces. Only because repeating something(at least time after time in writing) dulls it out, wouldn't you say?
I like where you say the opinions are hard as rocks. Puns are AMAZING and I don't care if it's a terrible one OMG I love it.. Sorry, praise isn't my thing but PUUUNNZZ.
Anyway, considering the topic I'm not going to tear this to shred anymore. Just work on your repetition and it would be a lot better. There's not much I can say about imagery pertaining to a poem about a rock, so I'll leave it that I guess.
Anyway, I hope this at least helped some! If not, toss my review!
Keep on doing what you're doing, and keep on keeping on!
Sincerely, Matthew Casanova Aaron.
