![]() ![]() I am here with A Muse Masters Micro Review of your poem, "Invalid Item" ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I love the comparison of autumn leaves and fallen soldiers. It's an original and touching idea and very effective as a poem in haiku form. The picture is almost part of the poem - it is necessary to reveal the other meaning, the opposite side of the coin. The picture is what made this poem so beautiful. I'm wondering, though, if this is a good thing? Shouldn't the poem stand by itself? I would love to see you expand on this work - photograph the autumn tree in words instead of an image. I especially love the imagery. So much metaphor packed into three lines with only 17 syllables. First the "bodies", then "flames", then "birds". Linked together, these three create such a vivid picture, complimented with surreal and hazy yet violent action words like "fall", "burst" and "twisting". A very visual poem. I really like that aspect. ![]() Oh, and let's not forget the title - fantastic! It caught my attention straight away, and I think it adds another layer to the poem. Anyway, thanks for sharing! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ![]() ![]()
