Hi Meg ,

A "Game of Thrones"  House Martell Review!

Title and form:

As with all acrostics, your title is constrained by the choice of the words the acrostic will spell out.

Your poem conforms to the solitary requirement of an acrostic, where the first letter of each line spells out your chosen phrase. The acrostic form is very often forgotten about as it is a relatively simple form to write.

First impression:

This was a humorous look at the season of giving. And to think, I spend days shopping for my friends and family. Now if only I'd found this poem all those years ago, it would have saved me some effort

General impressions:

Your poem has a smooth flow it, and I like that the first words of each line aren't obtrusive.

I love the image of your narrator running around the house and finding all of the old junk she wants to palm off onto unsuspecting giftees

I like that you have incorporated other poetic devices into your poem such as consonance, assonance, and alliteration.

Closing remarks:

This poem is a well earned first place and it deserves the Awardicon that graces it.

Thank you for sharing your work with us! Write On!


Lord Andy~Sunspear of Martell
