 | Shall Wear A Crown  [E] A poem I wrote a few years ago that I am still quite proud of.  |
| (4.5)| Hello Spencer Bardot ,I read your inspirational poem, "Shall Wear A Crown" , which I've been meaning to comment upon for some time. Had a brief respite from the site. With 'Shall Wear A Crown', I was immediately struck by an uplifting tone and message of resilience. The opening lines, "Charming is the one that sings, / A glorious melody of glee," set a celebratory tone. This reader felt invited to embrace joy and positivity despite life's challenges. Through the use of musical imagery and emotive language, you effectively convey the power of self-expression and inner strength. Stylistically, your poem has exhibited a sense of elegance and grace that exudes, reflecting the regal theme you have woven throughout the text. And, the use of rhyming couplets and consistent meter adds a sense of rhythm and musicality to the poem, enhancing a smooth, lyrical quality. This formal structure serves to reinforce the poem's message of resilience and empowerment, providing a sense of stability and order amidst the uncertainty of life. Thematically, I considered this poem, to explore how the journey towards self-acceptance and inner peace develops, particularly because of the adversity and hardship. The image of wearing a crown serves as a powerful metaphor for embracing one's true identity and inherent worth, this, regardless of societal expectations or external judgments. By highlighting the importance of courage and authenticity, you inspire readers like me to reclaim their power and dignity in the face of adversity. It's unfortunate that these things impose on well meaning people. Poetic devices such as metaphor and personification feel to be have been employed effectively throughout the poem, enriching the emotional engagement and understanding a reader might experience. The personification of sadness as a "frail façade" added depth and complexity to the text, humanizing the experience of one's emotional vulnerability. Also, the metaphor of wearing a crown symbolizes the triumph of resilience and self-awareness, allowing me to envision how one might claim royalty in their own lives. On Message: It's true about heartache and courage. To have a passion for something and to fight through adversity to still hold it is a powerful thing. It seems we render ourselves weak when we don't have that balance. The facade is unfortunate. We are forced to put on a front, perhaps to preserve us from further heartache. It's a mask I throw away and bare my soul where it applies. It's tough choosing, but having faith in oneself and focus on the prize, bring resolve. It helps to be self-reliant, though we still depend on loved ones in those crucial times. In terms of any suggestion, you could consider exploring additional imagery or sensory details to further immerse a reader within the poem's thematic landscape. Additionally, experimenting with varied stanza structures or line breaks could enhance a poem's visual and auditory impact, allowing for greater flexibility and creativity in expression. Overall, this poem for me was a stirring ode to resilience, self-acceptance, and the transformative power of courage. You offer an adept use of language, imagery, and poetic devices to make this poem reveal a timeless message of hope and inspiration that many readers from all backgrounds might find appealing. A pleasure and happy to lend comment to your poetry today. Sincerely, Brian WDC Super Power Reviewer Newbie Reviewer   I'm struggling with worsening low vision and apologize for any errata.
