THE POEM
A poem about observing one's significant other and assessing their mood.
WHAT I LIKED
I thought this was a very insightful poem.
STRUCTURE
This is free form poem with the first two lines of each stanza rythming.
MECHANICS
I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes. The poem is easy to read and has a nice flow when read out loud.
DESCRIPTIONS
I liked: "I know you by the glare, Today's a day, beware" There's a lot in this description. There's a glare and a facial expression can say a thousand words. In this short, succinct sentence, the poet packs a lot - there's an unhappy look, a moody expression, be weary of approach. Nice blend with the visual sense and emotional outlook.
PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS
The opening engages the reader with it's sing song rythme, and keeps them reading. The title announces what to expect and I picked this poem because I wanted to see where it would lead me as a reader. A reflective poem with the hint of a whimsical voice that dares the reader to go deeper.
