My Brother Joe [E] a Rondeau poem in memoriam |
Greetings, Dave . I'm Jace, and I have the honor of reading and reviewing your offering "My Brother Joe" for the "~ The Poet's Place Cafe~" group. Form. You chose a Rondeau poetic format containing 15 lines with a specific pattern for rhyme and repetition. Overall Impression. I followed your meter pretty well while reading--eight beats per line with two exceptions. I tend to read poetry out loud; I find it easier to follow. I noted one issue (see below). Technical or Editorial Considerations. I invite your attention to the comments below. Please bear in mind these notes are from one on the outside looking in; ultimately only you can decide what's right for your poem. I stumbled over this line--it just didn't flow well for me. It sounded stilted. A suggestion follows: as my brother finished final ride my brother finished his final ride Rating. 4.5. Thank you for sharing this offering. Please accept these comments as offered in friendship and support. They are but my humble opinions. Reviewed by JACE My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Go Noticed" . My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
