...speechless...
If I could, I would publish this and use it to teach poetry. It was the epitome of perfection.
My favourite part was how you described the moon. I've never heard a description like that before.
I loved your imagery and description too. I'm just wowd.
Totally, absolutely, positively brilliant!
Wow, this is a truly breath taking poem! your use of words and imagery is amazing. This poem has been written with such skill it feels like a real piece of literature I would analyse and study at school. This is simply amazing, well done!
I love the French take on "Ophelia" that you've used for the title. I've never heard it before, but it sounds beautiful. The imagery and metaphors that you used throughout this are all breathtaking. I love how you use her appearance to describe the setting, and I can picture the image very clearly in my mind. Your words paint a beautiful picture.
You did a great job in implying emotions, without actually coming right out and saying them. I also love how you didn't just describe the setting and the present, but you gave us information on her past as well. And it wasn't done in a cheesy or obvious way either, nothing like [i]And her life used to be...[/i] There were just little hints at what her life used to be like. She used to be happy, she had other people trying to control what she was to do with her life. I also get the feeling that she had trouble coming to reality when she first began to spiral downward.
Overall, I thought that this was gorgeous. The imagery and emotions were brilliant, and this is one of, if not my favorite Ophelia-related poem that I've read.
Your description and style of writing is truely remarkable and very beautiful
Its all very visual and the wording you've used is very emotive, making the reader feel along with 'Ophelie'
My favourite phrase is ' a world of truthful lies' this line echoes brilliance and really stood out to me
very well done :)
This beautiful.
Amazing metaphors and imagery.
I had only one complaint. When you said "the effects unnoticed" it should have said "the effect's unnoticed."
Check back to the contest for the winners soon. :)
Drunk from the choices freedom forced upon her in a world of truthful lies.
Wrapped in a blanket of stars.
Those are my favorite two lines from your poem. I love the imagery your words gave me and how different this poem is from most I've read. The style is the poem seems very Old English :P I think you really captured and conveyed what you wanted to say very well. Good job!
This is really beautiful. =) I absolutely love the descriptions you used, the image you painted. The metaphors and similes were absolutely superb. Without ever mentioning the emotions felt directly, you've managed to portray emotion very strongly here, and I love it. =)
