Hello Elizabeth

I'm sending this review in connection with "Game of Thrones.


*Penw* Positives

I loved the comedic take on insomnia presented in this poem. For me personally, I think I hate the 4am hour the most. It's far, far too late in the night to be staying up, and far, far too early in the morning to be waking up. You did a great job of capturing an appropriate sentiment for each hour of the early morning, and the last stanza at the end is what really pulled the entire poem together for me. I really enjoyed reading this. Nice work!


*Penw* Suggestions

While I thought the 3am and 5am stanzas were excellent, the 4am stanza felt like a bit of a miss for me; skipping a nap and not feeling tired don't quite match up with the same sentiments as the 3am and 5am stanzas. I'm a little unclear what not having a nap earlier in the day has to do with 4am specifically, and would have loved to have had a little more connection to one of the times of night that feels the most removed and isolated from the daytime.


*Penw* Overall

Overall, I enjoyed reading this poem and thought it was quite creatively structured. While I do think there's room for improvement here, I think you have a really solid foundation to work with, and there's a ton of potential here to make a compelling and relatable poem. Good job!


Respectfully,

Jeff
