Hello! I like to review poetry using Dave's on family time. 's method of analyzing poems. I enjoy reading poetry and learn from reading and reviewing other's poems to see what works and what doesn't.


TITLE:The title works: it states what the poem will be about


IMAGERY:This is more of a true account of a new teacher in a new country. It is straightforward and doesn't use imagery as much.


Literal imagery We picture the poor teacher trying to reach out to her students and connect by using pictures and letting them tell about themselves. It sounds like you were successful!

Figurative imagery none I could find



RHYMING & REPETITION:To make this rhyming poem read smoother, you may want to establish a rhyme scheme in your stanzas. The first stanza has two rhyming lines, the second and fourth. The next has none. The third the second and fourth rhyme like the first stanza. The fourth, second and fourth. The fifth, second and fourth and so on. I think if you try to get every stanza have the second and fourth lines with end rhymes, it might read smoother.


RHYTHM:The rhythm is off in the poem. You may want to count syllables and develop a structure for it.


STRUCTURE & FORM:No form I can recognize so free form but rhyming. Rhyming poems are tricky, they can seem forced and read funny when spoken aloud, as most good poetry should be.


OVERALL IMPRESSION:The poem has great sentiment and is a picture of what it is like to be a new teacher. I think with a little work on structure/form/rhyme it will be even better!
