I've Seen Hope [E] A poem about someone who inspires me to try a little harder when I feel like giving up. |
HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews" Greetings, Buterflydreams! I am reviewing this because today is your 17th Writing.com Anniversary! First of all, my reviews are intended to be helpful and encouraging, not hurtful in any way. Use what you feel works for you, and leave the rest. The Positives/What I Liked This is a great piece filled with hope. I really like how you present "hope" in each stanza--with a smile, a heart, a soul, and finally...with feathers. I also like that this does not rhyme. It first appears like a poem that should rhyme, but it's actually centered free-verse set in four stanzas plus one line. The reason I like that it's not a rhyming poem, is that it doesn't feel forced at all. It flows so freely and is enjoyable to read through. My favorite stanza is the third (although I like them all.) I like how you write that hope has a soul exhibiting every laugh, dream, love, and tear. The independent line at the end wraps it all up. Suggestions/Comments to Consider I don't have any suggestions. You were consistent with not using punctuation throughout this piece. There were no spelling or grammar issues. Good work! Final Thoughts My daughter's name is Hope. My mother's name was Hope. And I have a granddaughter named Grace Hope. As you can imagine, I'm quite partial to hope. I enjoyed reading this piece about hope, whether she is a human friend or just plain hope, she is always there for you. Thank you for sharing! Have a great day and... K e e p on W r i t i n g !
