GAMES OF THRONES POEM REVIEW

This is a review for "Looking Up to My Flag"  from House Targaryen for "Game of Thrones" 

House Targaryen image for G.o.T.

The views and opinions on this review are mainly the things discovered by the reader and therefore, do not reflect necessarily to the group, activity and/or event being affiliated herein. This is only the opinion and suggestions of the reviewer and it is still up to the author of this piece to consider this review as a corrective action or otherwise.

*Reading* THE POEM

This poem is a tribute to the American flag and what it represents not only to the American people, but to the world.

*Idea* WHAT I LIKED

Being a veteran, I gravitated right to this poem. For me, it speaks to the hope the flag offers, to all peoples. The flag is a poultice for an open wound, a light of peace, representative of a nation's pride.

*Star* STRUCTURE

This is a free form poem with no rythme scheme.

*Star* MECHANICS

I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes. The poem is easy to read.

*Star* DESCRIPTIONS

I liked: "white clouds, blue sky, and red stripes of dawn." The line paints a nice visual that the colors of the flag aren't just on the flag, but embedded in the nation's every day life.

*Star* PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS

The title fit the poem well and the opening lines engage the reader. I liked how the poem tapped into emotions; patriotism, hope, peace, and more. The author uses a good economy of words to blend those emotions with visual vinyettes that readers can see in their mind's eyes as they read. Well done! I have no suggestions for improvement.
