HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY!!! from "Anniversary Reviews" Celebrating your writing this month with a review. Happy Account Anniversary Stormy Lady , I’m on a review raid of your portfolio, acknowledging your 23 years at WDC. Now, in "Yet," the poet crafts a vivid portrayal of a man through contrasting elements, unraveling the complexity of his character and the lasting impact he leaves. The opening lines invite a reader into a dreamlike introspection, using the act of closing one's eyes as a gateway to explore the layers of this man's essence. Stylistically, the poem employs a concise and rhythmic structure that mirrors the brevity of the encounters described. The deliberate use of contrasting conjunctions like "but" and "yet" establishes a pattern, emphasizing the duality inherent in the man's attributes. The juxtaposition of seemingly contradictory qualities, such as the strength and kindness in his voice or the brevity and lasting impact of his presence, adds depth to the portrayal. Thematically, the poem explores the multifaceted nature of human experience and connections. The title "Yet" becomes a powerful motif, encapsulating the essence of the man's character and the paradoxical nature of his existence. The interplay between opposites, like strength and gentleness, wisdom and seeking, passion and brevity, weaves a nuanced narrative that resonates with the complexities of relationships and fleeting moments. Poetic devices, such as imagery and personification, enhance the reader's engagement with the text. The hands that "showed how he worked" and were "gentle to the touch" create a tactile and visual image, bringing the man to life in the reader's imagination. The eyes, described as "full of unseen wonder," personify curiosity and mystery, inviting interpretation and contemplation. Suggestions for improvement may involve expanding on specific instances or memories that encapsulate the man's character. Little is truly known, as he could benefit from further dimension, especially on someone, like the narrator. Providing concrete examples of the wisdom in his words or the passion in his kiss could amplify the emotional impact of the poem. Perhaps, considering variations in line length or experimenting with rhyme schemes could add a dynamic element to the structure. Well, I hope my little raid will be discovered by you. Hope all is well, come back soon. Sincerely, Brian WDC Angel Army and Anniversary Reviewer My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
