| Rain | Valene L Johnson | I like this, Valene. It has a definite imagist, William Carlos Williams feel to it. :) I do think that instead of "they" you might use a more-specific word. What you've got here is powerful, and I think that would make it even more so. The word "merrily" works, and it does balance the poem as far as syllables, but "merrily" is a bit trite, and you seem capable of finding a better word. I love "black street-braille." It's beautiful as an image, and it is beautifully spoken as well. Good job. | 2004-04-22 00:35:28 |
| Iraq in April | Mark Andrew Hislop | This is my first critique on this site, so bear with me. :) I like the poem, but there is a little bit of confusion with me as far as the audience that the speaker (Iraq, I assume) is targetting in the first stanza. Later on, it is obvious that this is a speech directed at the U.S., but this doesn't seem to be the case in the first stanza, or if it is, I am having trouble understanding who is killing what savior. Is Iraq, the speaker, saying that Iraq has killed the United States? In other words, they have killed the soldiers sent there to "save" them? That would make sense to me, especially given the focus on U.S. body bags later on in the poem. However, it is confusing because the line "kill the savior" seems to be directed towards Iraq, which is confusing because the poem then abruptly changes direction, and now the audience is the U.S. I also think the word "handmaiden" could be exchanged for a word more specific to the meaning you are trying to convey. I think you mean to say that the U.S. is only being used as a tool for whatever God has decided. The word "handmaiden" doesn't automatically have that connotation. It took a couple readings for me to understand what was meant by it. Perhaps "pawn"? That word is a bit trite, though but I'm sure you can think of something. | 2004-04-21 21:30:18 |
