Follow the Sun [E] A fervent plea from The Preacher |
Hi Emerick! I saw the title of your sweet poem, and that's what drew me to it. It reminded me of so many lovely songs with that title, such as Xavier Rudd - Follow The Sun, which I had to put on in the background. With so many nice thoughts about that title, I knew your poem would be just as nice, and I wasn't disappointed. I found all six of your stanzas to be dazzling and full of pretty poetic words, which left me with a good feeling. I felt that you kept up the upbeat theme well throughout your poem. Your first stanza was stunning, and it had me wanting to continue on to read more. You are a talented poet! As a person who loves to watch sunsets, I might say that your words complemented the beauty of the sunset, with words like 'orange hue' and 'fiery blaze'. Great choices for the first 'hook' stanza. I felt that you succeeded in continuing the inspirational purpose of the poem, urging the readers to follow the sun. I interpreted it that although a day might bring sunshine and happiness, it's not always that way. When one sunset brings an end to the day, it's a promise for a new sun - a new start to tomorrow. I think you expressed all of that - and more - in your pretty poem. I think that your fourth stanza brings the message to your inspirational poem the best, and brings the readers back to your brief introduction about fervent plea from The Preacher as we are reinforced with the thought - "One setback is a chance to soar." What a beautiful message that is! One more thing I'd like to say, is that I enjoyed seeing the title here and there throughout your poem. It enforced what you were trying to say, in my opinion. Very nicely done.
