| Hi Leslie I like the premise of your book. The first chapter contained only one poem, so I can only give you feedback on that one. I like the gentle forgiveness espoused in your work. I'd like to suggest that working so much with hard end-rhymes can be distracting to the reader, especially when you have to have what a professor once called 'yoda speak:' the process of inverting regular American grammatical usage, in order to force end-rhymes. Try playing with softer rhymes (rhymes like "that"/"had" verses "that"/"pat")or internal rhyming. What about giving up rhyme altogether and paying attention more to form and meter?
Poetry can be used to "teach," but the strongest poetry seems to make a point or teach a truth without being "preachy." I find, as i said before, the theme of forgiveness and the openness and non-judgemental nature of God to be comforting and satisfying. You have to recognize, though, that the truth you are illuminating is based on dogma that not everyone recognizes.
I'm very intrigued as to what other kinds of poems you've written. Perhaps I'll splurge and buy the book. Your intro is very intriguing.

Although I enjoy your theme I do not understand if this is indeed poetry or a series of statements on the wiles of women. Also try using a more complex rhythm and the use of imagery to draw the reader into the poem .Your comment ? |
