Against the Unknown [13+] A mystery whispered in whispers so slight, the pieces unraveled, set loose in the night. |
GAMES OF THRONES POEM REVIEW This is a review for "Against the Unknown" 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 POEM A mystery about an abandoned home that stirs the reader's imagination. WHAT I LIKED I really enjoyed the word play in this poem. The author has to use some mandatory phrases per the prompt, but does an excellent job weaving them into a poem that stirs the imagination. Reader finds several signs of abandonment, from a lonely dog, to the salt tipped over to the haunting wind chimes and a full mailbox. Things that make you go um....? STRUCTURE This is a poem with four quatrains. The 1st and 2nd along with the 3rd and 4th lines rythme. MECHANICS I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes. The poem is easy to read. Good use of WDC ML to make it easy on the reader's eyes. DESCRIPTIONS I especiallyliked: "The sound of wind chimes, a haunting refrain, a melody lost in the whispering rain." -- what a great visual, that only sets a vivid scene in the reader's imagination, but also stirs their curiosity. PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS The title piques the reader's interest but I don't know how representative it is of the mystery presented in the poem. The opening stanza grabs the reader's interest. An interesting mystery indeed! Reviewed by StephB for House Targaryen }
