Hello Starmic Suebear Author Icon

I found your item to read on the Plug Page.

The fact that this was a fantasy poem about an imaginary continent intrigued me - although there are many fantasy novels and stories, I don't feel one often comes across poems about a fantasy land. I like the idea.

I like the start of the poem which opens with the vibe of telling a tale and the "Amelo" rhyming with "Tokyo", and where we meet our principal character. The poem goes on to tell us a bit about this place - some of it sounds like places familiar on Earth - or at least how they were in the past with plantations and slaves, however the poem also tells us there are other beings on this continent who are not human which ties in with the fantasy theme.

I like the descriptions in your poem and it makes me interested to know more about this fantasy land, although the rhyming schemes seemed a bit confused - as each verse seems to follow a different one. Perhaps this was intended, but it doesn't quite seem to be free form either, because the rhyming patterns are distinctly there.

The last line confused me a bit - "As he'd lived so would he be" - perhaps I am missing something here ? It reminds me of the phrase - to live and die by your sword, so perhaps it is along these lines.

I found this an interesting poem to read.

I hope you are enjoying being a part of WDC, and wish you a Happy WDC Birthday week *Smile*
