This is a "Game of Thrones" Open in new Window. review!


Hello, Ẃeβ࿚ẂỉԎḈĥ!

*Checkb*Overall Impression:
This a wonderful nod to nature with vivid imagery and obvious reverence.

*Checkb*Form, Rhythm, Cadence, and Style:
The contemplative nature of the poem pairs well with free verse, mirroring the fluid nature and stillness of the reflections described. The style is descriptive, with plenty of personification and metaphor. It is paced well and encourages the reader to slow down, enhancing the poem's quiet nature.

*Checkb*Content:
The poem immediately captures the reader's attention and moves them through philosophical musings; I assume it is a body of water (but it's possible I misinterpreted it). Allowing the reader to contemplate nature's beauty along with the author, we are able to question whether reality or the reflection is the ultimate beauty. Such musings also apply to humans, and there is an undertone of how humans perceive the world overall. Pointing out the cyclical nature of the earth adds to these themes nicely.

By using reflections, it subtly offers a view from different perspectives, provoking explorations of deeper truths and surface appearance. In a broader sense, you've effectively conveyed the concepts of duality, illusion, and the nature of perception.

*Checkb*Grammar and Mechanics:
This poem uses more formal language than some of your previous writings. It does give it a timeless and classic feel, but some readers may find it stuffy. Overall, the poem is well-balanced, with effective punctuation and line breaks.

*Checkb*Final Thoughts:
The poem is almost meditative in nature. It is an excellent introduction to the concept of viewing things from various perspectives, literally and metaphorically. It was another fantastic read.

Thank you for sharing your work with us!
