 | Driving To The East Coast Of Korea  [E] Spring time travel to the East Coast of Korea based on a true story  |
| (4.5)| Hallo JCosmos ! I will be reviewing your work "Driving To The East Coast Of Korea " on behalf of "House Targaryen Points" for "Game of Thrones"  Content: Written for a prompt challenge, this is a short poem that highlights memories of the poet's trip in Korea. Pluses:I am going to challenge myself to write a lengthy review with so short a poem. Hah! But in all seriousness, this is a lovely piece and although I've not been to Korea (and I'm guessing we are talking about South Korea here), I am a fan of the country, its people, and culture! You did a great job incorporating the prompts, given in the challenge, into the poem. It starts out with the time of the year the journey took place, which is in spring - not sure how hot it gets over there during the spring, but you point out the need to escape the heat. I've heard quite a bit about the East Sea - and by the line where it says 'as we drove off to the coast', I'm assuming it's that location, yes? Cherry blossoms seem to be a staple of most Asian countries, and I've been lucky to be exposed to the beauty of those flowers when they are in full bloom especially during spring. Your poem does a good job bringing that to life with just a few words. It ends with the simple act of chatting over a cup of coffee, and I can picture a quaint little local Korean eatery with a fantastic view of the East Sea. You do state the poem is biographical, and I'm now curious as to your experiences in that lovely country. Gosh, you make me want to get on the next plane to Korea now! Suggestions:Unfortunately, I can't think of any suggestions to give. Some poems tend to go heavy with the imagery and need to make everything so...frilly (if that makes sense). Sometimes short and sweet can be just as effective, and I think you pulled that off quite well with this piece.    Thanks for sharing the poem with us. It was a pleasure to read. Keep on writing!
