Comments : Fashion's Suicide

    by The Pessimistic Peabody

    Very insightful poem. Fashion, a topic not usually seen in poems and this was interesting. I must say this topic sucked me since it was so extraordinary. Your definitely worked wonders with a topic untouched.

    "So maybe our self esteem would improve;
    Maybe our body image was no longer an issue.
    If only, Fashion decided to commit suicide."

    In this stanza I feel that "was no longer an issue" should be "will not be an issue" just my personal thought for in the rest of the poem your referring to the future. 5/5

    When you think about fashion, its one word, yet it has such an impact on our lives, our pockets, our appearances and our self esteem. Its a dream to imagine a day where fashion will not phase us anymore. A dream. Great poem!

    Take Care.

    No more what's in and what's not, = No more "What's In" and "What's Not"

    ok; if you cannot = ok if you cannot (emit the semicolon)

    cloths= clothes(?)

    Fashion... will = emit the ellipsis (fashion will)

    debate;
    Will not be an issue =
    debate
    will not be an issue

    Bombarded; with images = emit the semicolon

    will no longer= would no longer (the tense in this line must match with the tense in the above line)

    Interesting poem... kinda a rhyming free verse poem. I enjoyed it, and it seemed a little but like you were trying too hard to take something that was cliche and tried to make it unique, which was successful but I think you may have tried a little too hard.

    However, the positive aspects were your vocabulary, which was very well trained throughout, and also your rhyme-words, which were not overused or cliche in themselves.

    Very well done.

    5/5
