Review number # 4 of week June 18-24th

Hi

My name is Lyn and I am doing a review for Simply Positive and "Game of Thrones" .




Title: When the Mountain Sings

First Impression: The repetition stanzas made me wonder if you had intended to make this a song. It certainly added to the other stanzas making their content stand out more!

What I liked: Harmonies passing down through the generations, I am particularly fond of traditions, I enjoy reading about them a lot.

What needs your attention: Nothing, the poem reads very smoothly out loud and reminds the reader of days past.

Favorite Parts: Ballads sang with banjoes played, those indeed were great times in our history. Families were more connected together than they are now and appeared to appreciate the time together. They shared the tales of suffering with their young hoping to make a difference and build strong connections with their neighbors.

Overall Impression: I loved the way the story unfolded like a ballad of the old days about families bonding and creating memories for the future generations by the tales of the past are sung. My own experience with ballads like this poem were at family gathering after an Irish funeral. I was quite surprised to see the dancing and the songs, they celebrated his life instead of mourning his loss.

Thank you for letting me read your work. It was my pleasure!
Lyn
What does the fox say? It's been mighty interesting visiting 2011 in your port.
