A Perfect Smile [E] "I have become truly in awe...Of your comforting gestures..." - a poem. |
Hi Tim, Wow, a beautiful love poem. I see it was written in 2021, I hope the blossom is still open. I am here to review your
Title and appearance on the page. Who could resist "A Perfect Smile"? The lines on the page appear to have substance without being intimidated by their length. Form Free verse, a poem in 15 lines broken into 3 strophes, 4 lines, 6 lines and 5 lines. No apparent metric or syllabic pattern. Texture, rhythm, word choice and sonics The poem reads out loud fluidly. Words "impassioned, enthralling, angelic, refinement" lift this to love song status. Suggestions There are a lot of abstracts in this piece. The intended recipient will connect but the random reader might not. This is just my observation but if it were mine, I would attempt to include more concrete imagery and less adjectives. It is your poem, use whatever you find helpful and ignore the rest of my comments. What I liked I loved "the chirping of migrating birds", a concrete image the random reader can connect to. I loved the enthusiasm that the narrator exudes in this piece and I really did enjoy reading this poem. ~~Tink My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
