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


Hello, GERVIC!

*Checkb*Overall Impression:
What an evocative and deeply lyrical poem that intertwines the grandeur of nature with the solitude of a lighthouse keeper. It paints a vivid picture of remote life and taps into themes of loneliness, duty, and spiritual transcendence.

*Checkb*Form, Rhythm, Cadence, and Style:
This poem employs a flowing narrative style rich in imagery and metaphor. The structured stanzas are balanced with a free-flowing rhythm that mimics the waves and wind described within the text. The use of alliteration, assonance, and internal rhyme throughout the poem enhances the musical quality of the verses, making each line resonate with the elemental sounds of the sea and wind.

*Checkb*Content:
With the deep exploration of purpose, each stanza builds on this metaphor, depicting the lighthouse as a physical structure and a place of refuge, creativity, and introspection. The references to mapping constellations, composing poems, and whispering to whales expand the narrative into a spiritual realm, suggesting that this solitude allows for a deep connection with nature and self.

The imagery in this poem is beautiful.

*Checkb*Grammar and Mechanics:
I found no problems with grammar or spelling. Your word choices are precise and sophisticated, resulting in a lyrical quality of the poem. The punctuation effectively paces the reader’s journey through the vivid landscapes.

*Checkb*Final Thoughts:
With its range of sensory responses and deep emotional connection, this will easily become a favorite of many readers. Thank you for sharing this poignant and beautifully crafted poem. It is a testament to the power of poetry to transcend the immediate and tap into the meaning behind what makes us who we are.
