Comments : My Father's Death

    by The Pessimistic Peabody

    Yet another good poem. The 3rd stanza messed up the flow a little bit but that happens. A perfect length to keep the feeling, get your point across and not leave the reader hanging. A treat to read, I felt like I was truly there, it completely absorbed my mind while reading. excellent.

    First of all, before I give the full comment, I must comment on the title which i believe should appear: "My Fathers' Death" if I'm not mistaken. If I am, ignore this section of the comment =]

    Very sad poem-- but it also really follows a story line. It reads just like a story, but with rhythm. Nicely written.

    Wow, such a saddening poem. I'm so sorry for your loss. But I like how you manage to put your experiences into beautifully formed writing.

    "I felt arms around me in embrace
    I longed to just break free
    The tears still rolling down my face
    Vision so blurred I couldn't see"

    ^ This stanza was my favourite. Excellent.

    Very sad and great, but throughout the poem you talked about HIM, as in not your father?

    I felt like I losing my mind
    [I felt like I {was} losing my mind.]

    Now, I loved the fact that it flowed so well and I love that it told such a story without confusion. However, the cutting part and such was very cliche..and I hate cliche. Also, around that time in the poem, I didn't feel the emotion anymore; how the blade really felt and so on.
    But, I do like how you write. I'm sorry, though, I have to give it a four.
    Oh, and also, you have MAJOR punctuation errors. That really bothers me..and it hurts the flow. Try to fix them and the flow would be perfect. =]

    I liked this the only thing that I can see to critique on is when someone is talking I think that you need to add quotation marks just so the reader knows that its someone talking and not just more of the poem. At first I was a little intimidatted(sp?) by the length of this poem but it was very well done. I liked the sence of lose, anger, and sadness and I really liked how it changed to a feeling of understanding and acceptance at the ending. Because you have to learn to accept death and not fight it. Well done.
