Sylvia [18+] from the eyes of a brokenhearted man ....written for the Two in One Poetry Contest |
First I want to say that this review is meant to help and not to harm and it is only my opinion. I am going to make some suggestions so please do not be offended as these are only suggestions. After reading the poem I felt it could be less wordy and still have the same emotional effect. Some changes that may or may not help the writer. Slowly, I sip the tangy liquid That makes me so feel good I reminisce on her beauty I see her in a light pink dress. Silk hair falling on her shoulders I see her crystal blue eyes. Piercing through my soul She was the love of my life. I can't believe that she would cheat on me (leave this line out let the reader imagine it) As she started to fade away, I screamed as loud as I could. A shiver passed through my whole body. Suddenly, her image turned into a man. (with wrinkles, who had surely seen his day.) leave this out. He looked dark and mysterious as he said, "It is time," I looked at him in bewilderment. His eyes had the same feelings, as mine (I would leave this line let the reader come to their own conclusions) I took one step closer to him. We both took a deep breath I felt him enter my body. As I fell to my death, I whispered, "Sylvia". Summary: I think this poem has a lot of potential but it needs to be worked out I think the writer has great word imagery and emotional projection
