Hey star! I'm ready to review some more 2020 star poetry! And you're really helping me with team tortoise XD I shall now review the work.
Going back onto your themes, when I started with your portfolio, I liked the originality with differences of a robot or the outsider element of "The Stargazer." Not to say that your writing style isn't beautiful, but I can just see in the small amount of time I have read most of your poems, it might be getting a little stale. While each piece of writing is original, I can see you gear towards things such as the sun, wings, and drowning. Maybe instead of writing your feelings, you can write in characters who are feeling those feelings like in "Gears." And to help with the mild repetitiveness of your connections, take a second to look around or just think. What is the first thing you see or think of, and how can you tie it in with the theme you are trying to portray. I just know that you are a strong writer and I want you to push yourself more. Your writing can only get better when you want it to. Even if this is 2020 star poetry, she needs some critiques from me. <33333
Okay now that that's out of the way, let me praise the work. Even with the critique of the "repetitiveness" I see you used somethings you've never used before such as
I love dandelion imagery, and I'm surprised you hadn't used it before. And I think it ties well with the themes you tend to write about.Particles scattering like dandelion seeds, i shut out a heart that beats too many times a day
I think my favourite line is
Previously you said that the tub is too shallow to play make-believe anymore, yet you still drown. I like to think it's because you think you are so small and even with the shallowness, you still drown.<33and i am left to drown in a mixture of oxygen and my chemical waste
And for the last stanzas
Ah yes the internal struggle we all go through in the horrid teen years. We have no idea who we are. We are treated as children yet expected to act like adults. We're just a weird child-adult hybrid. And when you think about it, your age is how long you have been on this Earth. But you don't have real memories until about the age of 3-4. So there's some missing things that could help us feel at home when we were like 2. XD that sounded a lot better in my head.i have lived with myself for fifteen
years but i am still a stranger
in my skin
i am at a place i call home
but i don't know where
i am.
Well that wraps up today's review! I hope you found this useful. And 2020 star's got some great poetry. I have no idea why I only started reviewing your works now. Anyway byeeeeeeeeeeee<33
