Photographic Memory [E] An interesting object in the middle of nowhere inspires a photographer ... then a writer. |
Hi MJones , I am reviewing this on behalf of "WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group" . I found this poem whilst checking out your portfolio, and I thought I'd send you a 'welcome' review. Please remember these views are purely my own and any advice given is with the sole intention of being helpful. First Impressions: I was drawn to the photograph immediately. The car is intriguing, and I can see why you stopped to photograph it. Also, how you were inspired to write this poem. And it's a great poem, too. I enjoyed it a lot. Visually, this item is really nice, and that always helps. Voice/Tone: The poem is written as though it's from your own experience, and I assume that is the case. (Although, I could be wrong.) I like the warm, nostalgic feeling that weaves through your words. That's very appealing. I felt like you were here in the room with me. Mechanics: Two verses with an aabb ccdd rhyme scheme. These rhymes give the poem a great flow, and this makes it read easily and fluidly. Rhythm: The rhythm is spot on. I didn't see any bumpy areas, and that made me happy. It is a smooth, perfectly-paced read. My Favourite Part: Honestly, I think I like the way it all ties in and fits together. I'm so glad you included the photograph, and didn't just say it was based on a photo. I also love the ending where you say that you won't forget the car, and it will always be brought to mind when you look at this photo. Love it. I really enjoyed reading this poem, and I would like to welcome you to Writing.com. I think you're going to like it here Keep writing!
