I’m here as the new judge for the ‘Pre-Writes #2’ contest.
Okay, I’ll be honest. I don’t think I’m awful at analyzing poems normally; I mean, I don’t think I’m great at it so I try not to do it too often, but I don’t usually struggle. Sometimes it just takes me a couple of reads before I get it. However, I had… a lot of trouble with this poem? In all honesty, I’m still not sure what it’s about and I read it a few times trying to figure it out. I don’t want to tell you how to write your own poetry because that’s all personal preference and I could have just easily missed what was trying to be said, but I do feel like you could have been clearer.
I definitely feel like there’s a really powerful message behind this poem, but the execution was just so vague and confusing that I missed it. And I’m actually really sad about that because like I said, I feel like there’s something here.
