 | Panic In The Ballroom  [E] The ballroom has some surprise visitors.  |
| (4.5)| Hi Teargen , HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews"  I am reviewing your poem, "Panic In The Ballroom" , in affiliation with "The WDC Angel Army" . What I liked  I read your title and brief description, and I took in the cute picture of the black and white piglets, but it can't have translated into a solid fact in my mind. Because when I got to the part where the piglets invaded the dance floor, it took my breath away. I laughed so much! I was expecting a warm, romantic poem about dancing with the person you love. Oh, and I'm so happy it wasn't that. That image of, "a swarm of black / and white piglets / stormed in." is fabulous. I can imagine the panic that ensued. You make great use of some poetic devices in this poem. Enjambment in this line is my favourite: "contented faces. Love was" I always admire this device when it is used well because I am terrible at figuring out how to use it. And this is a great example of how it's done. Also, the rhyme you use sparingly works really well. "Piglets squealed / some coupes kneeled" As well as adding to the comic effect, this helps give the poem a great pace, and in this instance, it shows your reader how the actions occurred quickly, too quick to stop the damage done.Suggestions There is just one place I wasn't sure about: " ...Love was / was energy, energy was / love." There seems to be an extra was here. I would take out the second one. Actually, if it were me, I would change it to, " ...Love was / energy / energy was / love." Just to slow it down a bit before the stampede of the piglets. Parting Comments This is a most enjoyable poem. I'm glad I spotted it in your portfolio. This gave me a proper laugh-out-loud, and on a grey UK morning, that is very welcome! Happy account anniversary! Choconut    My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
