 | Grandpa's Back!  [E] A vision and symbols  |
| (5.0)| GAMES OF THRONES POEM REVIEW This is a review for "Grandpa's Back!" from House Targaryen for "Game of Thrones"  The views and opinions on this review are mainly the things discovered by the reader and therefore, do not reflect necessarily to the group, activity and/or event being affiliated herein. This is only the opinion and suggestions of the reviewer and it is still up to the author of this piece to consider this review as a corrective action or otherwise.  THE POEMGrandpa comes in dreams to pass on guidance and other things.  WHAT I LIKEDI loved how the poem progressed, how it started out as a dream and at the end, how the poet interprets those dreams in life. There's a deeper meaning here - you take the dream to heart, but how you choose to interpret the message is up to you.  STRUCTUREThis is a poem with eight 4 line stanzas. The 1st and 2nd along with the 3rd and 4th lines rythme. I liked the rythme scheme, it gave added beats, not only with the rythme, but with emotional beats as well. MECHANICSI did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes. The poem was easy to read. DESCRIPTIONSI liked -- "bifocals with maroon handles bent, sit with their meaning spent." Succinct word play paints a clear visual in my imagination - Grandpa's glasses, maroon in color with bent frames," ah, but what does "with their meaning spent?" How did the bifocals get broken? A fight? An accident? PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONSThe title fits the poem, as the poet often dreams of Grandpa and the opening stanza engages the reader and keeps them going. There's a lot to unpack here - how do our dreams play with us? How real are they? Grandpa seemed to have a positive vibe in the dream, but in real life the poet doesn't seem to take the memories well. A dream put upside down on his head? The poem will resonate long after the reader has finished. Reviewed by StephB for House Targaryen  }
