A Review from "The Iron Bank of BraavosOpen in new Window.!


Hi Dad

My name is Lyn, I am one of the sly foxes.

Title: A Really Lousy Poem

First Impression: The title attracted my attention and I was curious so here I am. It made me chuckle because not very often does someone use old English in poetry. I'm sure Dickens could have fun with this.

What needs your attention: I didn't note anything I would change. It was funny and as the author noted it was written in five minutes so the work isn't seeking critical acclaim.

What part I liked best: The opening stanza set the story up nicely putting the reader right with the narrator deciding on what was coming their way. The second stanza delivered the event that caused all the problems. And the third stanza told us the fate of the cheating husband. His life would be hexed. Wives are good at cursing just saying.
The way the poem unfolds could easily be the prologue to a short story with the man and wife and their life before the maid and after. Just something to think about.

Overall impression: The rhyming worked very well and the stanzas flowed smoothly together. It was a humorous poem that made this reader laughed. I don't think its a lousy poem as the author noted but it did accomplish getting my attention so maybe that makes the title a success.
