 | Wisdom of the Druid  [E] There is truth in lore.  |
 This is a "Game of Thrones" review!Hello, CathrinStuart!  Overall Impression:This is a serene read of a reverence for nature and immersion in the natural world. Form, Rhythm, Cadence, and Style:The traditional style of AABB brings a lyrical quality to the poem and helps it to flow nicely. The content is soothing and peaceful, with a reflective atmosphere enticing the reader to consider the themes of healing and preservation. It's a timeless poetic arrangement with a nice spin on a classic nature theme. Content:Using concrete imagery like 'whispers of oak, ash, and thorn", "lef and vine," and "herbs for healing, plants for the cure" offer tangible elements in a world some readers may not fully understand, so this serves as a good anchor point. Other word choice pointing back to older times works well with your classic elements and providing a soothing charm without compromising readability or detracting from the message. It's evident you carefully chose your words and imagery to reinforce the qualities of the underlying messages. Your genre choices were interesting and one of the reasons I chose the poem. I think you've woven them together well. The mystery element is one of ancient secrets and discovering truths, while health is prominently featured in the role of well-being. The spiritual connection is deeply ingrained in the poem, from sacred spaces to reverence for nature. It fits firmly in all three categories. Grammar and Mechanics:There were no errors that stood out. Final Thoughts:Overall, this lovely merging of themes and genres creates a mystical allure and offers the reader strong poetry and a wonderful reading experience. Thank you for sharing your work with us!
