Hi Samm,

This review of your The Logic of Vain is to show you your poem through my eyes. I also examine the poem to learn and grow as a poet and to simply enjoy the art.

Title and appearance on the page: The title grabbed me as an oxymoron and drew me right in. I had to know. The font selection, and the spacing, have an inviting Zen vibe. Now I'm even more curious.

Form: 6 quatrains made up primarily of 6 syllable lines in alternating rhyme. Occasional additional syllables contribute to a natural flow. Interesting. The rhyme is true but subtle, not dominant.

Rhythm & Flow: Written with a rhythm of everyday language making it pleasant to read out loud.

Language & Word Choice: The words learnt and burnt surprised me. I liked that both appear and yet are not end-rhymed.

Things I liked: I enjoyed reading your poem and liked pretty much everything about it. Thanks for the read.
