Review of Upbeat by Adherennium Plotting something Author Icon

Playing the phool again I see, Doctor. A thing that looks easy but has its difficulties in truth. And this little ditty is no exception to that rule - it seems light-hearted and silly, but there's a lot of work in achieving that impression.

Those rhymes, for instance, are close to genius. There's nothing forced or inappropriate, each one conforms to the theme and adds to it. I love that you found noisy words like rat-tat-tat and lad-de-dah to fit so precisely with the main thrust of the poem. More than anthing else, they're the point!

But everything assists in this common aim to please and amuse. It's nonsense, yes, but also makes a strange sort of announcement of confidence. You want upbeat? Well here's upbeat for you!

Then there's the matter of rhythm and flow, the consideration that so often spoils our attempts at this kind of thing. And you prove well capable of carrying it off in this poem. The rhythm is clear and uninterrupted, the flow steady from beginning to end.
And the claim about pace at the end of it true too.

In summary it's a tour de force of comic verse, an apparently easy construction that holds the reader from beginning to end. Well done indeed!
