A Review from "The Iron Bank of BraavosOpen in new Window.!


Hi Elizabeth

My name is Lyn, I am one of the sly foxes.

Title: Hello There

First Impression: I wish I could say I've never experienced insomnia but unfortunately I experience it more than I care to say. I enjoyed how the poem talked to the clock and the mattress like they could respond back.

What needs your attention: Okay I think this poem would benefit from some tweaking.
1. first stanza- you're asking a question in the third line that the fourth line could answer.
Why am I here when I should be in bed?
Instead there's too many ideas in my head.

2. second stanza this sentence slows the pacing
I like you, but I don't think we can stay friends
You can easily reword it and pick up the pace.
I like you but we're not friends.

3. third stanza Beginning a line with and also slows the pacing
And if I said I liked you, I would be faking

If I said I liked you, I would be faking.


What part I liked best: Is the poems direct approach to circumstances all too many of us have experienced.

Overall impression: I disagree with the author's description, this isn't a silly poem. It acknowledges a real problem that exists.
