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


Hello, Warped Sanity!

*Checkb*Overall Impression:
This is an interesting collaborative piece with some great imagery.

*Checkb*Form, Rhythm, Cadence, and Style:
Both writers have maintained consistency in their respective sections, ensuring a continuity of rhyme and structure. It has an almost sing-song lyrical quality to it, with each stanza introducing a different phase in an evocative way. The pacing is good and there is no obvious demarcation from one author to the other. Overall, I think you worked well together.

*Checkb*Content:
There's plenty of metaphors in here to keep a reader busy. From painful raw materials turning into beautiful expressive stories through the grave guarded by raven offers excellent symbolism and a vivid narrative. That being said, unlike some of your other pieces, I had more difficulty in picking the message. I believe the painting process is a metaphor for transformation, but I wasn't quite able to place the last stanza in context. I'm pretty sure the artist is metaphorically burying the past, and the stanza is well written, so this may be a reader error and not a problem with the writing. If I assume that to be true, then the movement of the artist from pain to release is well crafted.

I love the references to Poe.

*Checkb*Grammar and Mechanics:
I didn't find any problems with spelling or grammar, and I think the poem maintains its consistency throughout in both style and use of metaphor. The narrative moves at a steady pace, unfolding the story in a logical way.

*Checkb*Final Thoughts:
The poem is beautiful and a solid acheivement in collaboritive writing. The imagery and metaphors create an immersive experience that should leave a lasting impression on any reader fortunate enough to come across it.

Thank you for sharing your work with us!
