Hello M C Gupta!
The poem is very inspiring. I liked the flow- from questioning to giving their answers.

It reminded me of
"Trust no future however pleasant
Let the past bury it's dead"
-Psalm of life

Nice poem👏.

Perry.
Keep writing.

Review of Kipuka

Hello Kåre Enga !!



I went through the genre "Nature" and came across this piece of writing. 😊

** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **


Title:
The title "Kipuka" given suits the poem as it is the central idea which revolves around the whole poetry.

Theme
Nature and it's beauty. It portraits the beauty of crossing miles of lava fields to reach a green oasis on the slopes of Hawaii.

Figure of Speech:
Imagery is used in the line:
"wings of jewels that seek
insects and 'ohi'a in these warm oases,
luscious, lava locked"

Personification:
"wings of jewels"

Irony:
"Confined between these death-dealt walls,
ashes from a nether world sprout life:
the rubies of 'ohi'a flowers,
a honeycreeper's flight."

What I liked
The new information and the description of "Kipuka". As a reader, I can imagine the lava rocks and the greenery simultaneously.
My favorite line:
"Confined between these death-dealt walls,
ashes from a nether world sprout life:
the rubies of 'ohi'a flowers,
a honeycreeper's flight." Beacuse it is kinda summary of the whole poem.

My Suggestion
Here I found that although the poetry is unique and interesting but because of some words used here like: "Apapane, 'amakihi,
'akiapola'au, 'i'iwi,", it became difficult for me to understand the poetry in one go.
Although the information provided is really helpful yet those terms break the flow.
However, those words are the only one which give the poem a fine golden touch to your unique description of such a bewildering and beautiful scenery, so it's upto you.

It is just a suggestion. Your uniqueness, thinking style and prospective matters more!! (I have my own and so you have yours.😀)







See you.
Perry.😁😁

Title:
The title "04.12.2019" given is your unique style and I know why you prefer it this way so I won't comment on it.

Theme
Nature and it's beauty.
The beauty of the outer space- stars.

Rhyme Scheme and Form
This poem is written in free verse.

What I liked
Your uniqueness, of course! The idea of describing nature through stars.

My Suggestion
I felt that until the last line it and without description that you have provided, it was very difficult for me to comprehend the theme. If it is a certain type of poem (like Haiku, sonnet, ballad, etc.) that I'm not aware of then I'm sorry I wasn't knowing. (Please do inform me if it is, to increase my knowledge about poetry.😁)

Hello Soldiers_Mike!

The above peice of writing is capable enough to make all of us to remind the tragic situation at The World Centre Trade.
It is pain to remember that time and if the statement mentioned above that it was your(as it is biographical I'll assume that the narrator is you) birthday is a real fact then is more depressing for him.
Nicely written with great wordings.

Review of Change Your Mind  
Review by Dr Perry Ride
Rated: E | (3.5)
Hello there!

The title "Change your mind" perfectly fits the central theme. The description too gives us an idea about the poetry.

Many things change and we change our perspective about them. This poem includes 8 stanzas written in free verse. All the seven stanzas talk about little things supporting the last important stanza.
