![]() | The Wolf and the Bird ![]() A villanelle for winter. . . ![]() |
Hi there, I'm reviewing your poem for the winter I-write. You were the poster before me, so I'm offering my thoughts here. Please do keep in mind I'm not very good at poetry. ![]() First impressions: The picture gave a very intense feeling. If you believed, you could even say it was magical. Kind of reminds me of Narnia. The poem itself left me feeling mystified. In a good way. I'll probably be thinking about this as I take my final later. Structure: Looks good to me. The rhymes work, the line flow well into each other, and most importantly, it makes sense! Word Choice: There's wonderful imagery here, I can see what's going on without having to look at the picture. I like how you said "quick flutter", it reminds me of a startled bird, or one that's unsettled, a quick jump, flapping its wings, and resting again. Overall: I do wonder what the bird knows now. ![]() Other than that, I really liked your poem. I didn't see any spelling errors, and your structure seems to fit with the villanelle description I looked up. Good job and keep writing! ![]() ![]()
