At the bottom of the shallow pit near the edge of the rubble,
Amon found the likeness of the long-dead race molded in clay...

I'm not one for reviewing poetry, but this read more like a story, or at least it had a purpose. This was an interesting take on the creation of snakes. And if you're a Lovecraft fan, which sometimes seems to be a prerequisite around here, then you'll like this one.  |

I agree. I found it very interesting, great imagery, but more of a story. A poem has to have some sort of a construct. I hated rhyme and metre back in school because of its rigidity; felt the Romantics sacrificed word choice and nuance in some great poetry for technical perfection - prof strongly disagreed.... only later I realized how I could use aspects of it to build the construct a poem's story can come to life within.
But...here comes the but monkey...never sacrifice originality, creativity for "rules", find a way to use the rules. Sorry, coffee's kickin' in.  |
