Hi percy goodfellow Author IconMail Icon

I'm glad I read this work of yours. It is my pleasure to both read and comment on your work "Tomorrow's ChildOpen in new Window. on behalf of "SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUPOpen in new Window..

*StarB* First Impression/Thoughts:
This is a very meaningful poem that is well-crafted and resonant.

*Star* Creativity/Impact:
Using the metaphor of a child to symbolize our collective future is an excellent choice!

*StarG* Message/Theme:
In a dark world descending even deeper into the shadows, how will the future unfold for our children?

*StarR* Technique/Technical Notes:
These are just my thoughts and observations. I may not have read the work the way you intended. Please decide for yourself if these comments are helpful to you; if not, feel free to disregard them.

*BulletB* Title - The title is the first thing that prospective readers will see. I love how you use the word 'Tomorrow' together with 'child', seeing as how we always view children as the future. It fits the poem very well.

*BulletG* Grammar/Wording - I noticed nothing that jarred or confounded the reading. This is always a sign of good writing. You chose all your words carefully to fit the rhyme and meter, and to convey the nuance you intend. Excellent skill indeed!

*BulletR* Form/Flow - The poem starts off with something similar to epic verse with a rhyme scheme of abcb then becomes a series of questions. All stanzas are quartrains. I'm no expert on form, but I really like the change to questions towards the end.

*Bullet* Emotion/Imagery - The words are laden with nuance and imagery. My favorite line is Will fallen grace resume its place // and rescue right from wrong? for personal reasons, as I am writing something similar to that.

*StarBr* Overall Rating/Final Thoughts: This is a thought-provoking and excellent poem. There's nothing I would change about it.

Keep writing! Wishing you all the best,
