Not the Worst or Best Poem Ever Written [E] A poem about writing poems |
Disclaimer: I may suggest changes in my review. This is not meant as 'serious' literary criticism (I’m no expert). It's merely my record of the ‘bumps’ I encounter as I travel through your words. If I'm thrown by a typo, an awkward word, or a line that doesn't scan, then it's likely that others will be as well. My intent in giving a review is to applaud your work and maybe help you to improve it. A review is merely another reference to consider. If the suggestions prove useful, then use them. If I ‘just don’t get it’, then by all means ignore me! This poem popped up on Read & Review and caught my attention. It's well done, revealing the author's whimsical attitude toward the craft of writing poetry. The meter breaks a bit in places, but overall, I like it. The only suggestion I could offer is not really a critique. It strikes me that the use of every vs ever might not be intentional? However, this is a poem, so it may be the author's choice. Keep writing! Words Whirling 'Round A poet merely pens a mirror, the reader brings the reflection. My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
