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


Hi Bonnita

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

Title: Saint James

First Impression: This poem is a free style tribute to Bonnita's spouse, who she believes is her personal saint. But with that said, the author has taken a simple love gesture and tried to create the world instead of focusing on the man she obviously adores

What needs your attention:
1.The opening line is conflicting because the poem is about James but begins with I have never been a saint. It would work if the author said I have never seen a saint then later lines play into James's actions.

2 I would ditch imagery because it takes the cadence of your work away. I suggest trying this.

The dust of my heart
Settles when I realize
that my religion
has always been you.


What part I liked best: The dust of my heart settles gives a beautiful pause in the readers mine before delivering has always been you.

Overall impression: The poem has a lot of potential but right now the cadence is choppy and doesn't flow smoothly when read out loud. I suggest the author really consider what they're really wanting to say to James in this tribute.
