Review of There Lived Red Bud, A Magical Tree

Review by StephBee

In affiliation with The WDC Angel Army

Rated: E | N/A (Review only item.)

Access: Public | Hide Review (?)

My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines.

THE POEM

A poem about a girl and tree that grow up together.

WHAT I LIKED

I enjoyed the reverence for nature that resonated throughout the poem.

STRUCTURE

This is free form poem. There is no apparent rythme scheme.

MECHANICS

I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes. The poem is easy to read.

DESCRIPTIONS

I liked: "I often times rested on the cool, soft, grassy bed," It's a nice, easy description that I can imagine, and it puts me in the moment. The poem is visually stimulating as it paints a picture of an easy friendship between the growing tree and young girl.

PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS

The opening teases the reader and keeps them reading. The title fits the poem. It's a very sweet poem with several positive notes including finding inspiration and respect for nature. Nice expression.
