Hey there! Happy Review Day!
This is my first one since so long so forgive me if this one fails. xD
It's not common for a poem to be written commenting or criticizing other poems like this. Like what Cailey said in her review, this is a poem about poetry. It comes off a bit intimidating though, especially for one such as me who is not really good at poetry. I mean, I don't have that much technical knowledge in literature. lol You sound like someone who knows what 'poetry' is.
What also comes with this is that there is not much imagery, but maybe that doesn't matter much in this poem as this is a 'talking poem' wherein you, as the writer, are only pointing out some things you'd like to with your reader.
Anyway, this is interesting.
I'm not really so fond of this poem probably because it's just not my type. It's more objective than subjective, topic-wise, and I'd prefer something that evokes more emotion.
This is good though, and the structure is not bad for a casual reader like me at least.
- This part, although it seems like you're saying this is bad in poetry, actually looks nice.
- This hits me. xD I've had poems that do look, and sound, forced to rhyme, haha.
- This part seemed a bit sudden because here, you are trying to relate with the reader, which did not seems to be what you were doing at the rest of the poem. But anyway, this is ending is all right,
The title is interesting.
- You started off with this interesting, though cliché-ish, line, and I think this catches attention well. It caught mine at least. xD
- I loved the sudden use of Archaic English here. xD Also, starting at this line, it began to seem that you are actually incorporating different forms used in poetry.
- If I am to be negative, this one is extremely long. lol But I am fine with it, and I understand why you did this. The length made me read it fast by the way. lol
My nitpicks end here.
This is in overall an interesting poem.
Never stop writing!
I like this alot! It's silly, but in a refreshing way! Keep writing
This was great. I like the idea of a poem about poetry. I wouldn't consider this a fantastic piece, it seems like you were just playing around with ideas. I think this could work well with some more work.
You could try to really make each line sound different. Play with the styles more, and see if you can mimic each section to other forms of poetry. Your long descriptive line could be longer, and you could do more with imagery and figurative language.
Of course, you might have just done this for fun and you don't want to change anything, which is also fine.
