Hi elyse03 !

I found your poem on the Read a Newbie page and I'm happy to send you a review.

The short lines and lack of capitalization seem to reflect the current state of mind of many people right now. I liken it to fearful but optimistic. In such a short piece, you've captured a lot of feelings that are popular right now: phobias, anger, worry, and love. It's simple but straightforward and the short clipped meter worked very well for this subject.

FAVORITE LINES:

"more news than words can say"

I felt that! I can only read news articles now, because the TV just makes me impatient and anxious. Hence why I'm here on WDC reviewing LOL!

OVERALL IMPRESSION:

Creating art via the written word, as is your poem, is so cathartic for me to process things I've been through, and I imagine it was for you too. It was also nice to read something written by someone I don't even know, but the observations we both have are the same. It was comforting. I like your style of writing and I can't wait to see what else you have in your portfolio. This was an excellent read.

Thanks for sharing your talent with us, and keep writing!
