Hi Prosperous Snow celebrating ,

I chose to review your item today as my review requirement for I Write.

First impression:

This is a clever little poem extolling the virtues of choosing the right word in poetry, and showing what can go horribly wrong if the wrong word is used.

General impressions:

Your poem has a smooth flow to it, and your heavy use of consonance and assonance throughout gives it a very musical quality.

I like the idea of the metaphors and similes shining light on a poem. I remember my English teacher back in secondary school drumming into our heads that metaphors were the driving force behind poetry - they were usually the first thing a reader looks for.

Favourite parts:

I love the "k-sound" consonance in the last line of the first stanza and the "s" consonance in the first line of the second stanza. It really makes for a seamless transition between the two stanzas.

Closing remarks:

This is a really great poem, Neva, and I wish you the very best of luck with it in the What's Your Line contest. I hope you have enjoyed I Write so far, and that you complete the challenge.

Thank you for sharing this item! Please keep on writing!
