Poetry... My Art by @Gemmie2468

Hello gemmie2468!! These are my thoughts after reading your book, it's my opinion and it may differ from one person to another.

First impressions:

Title: Every poetry book had a title, yours just says that its poetry and that it's you art.. Which I don't think makes a good poetry book, there has to be a title that attracts readers and makes them question what's inside.

Rating: 5/10

Cover: Its a simple cover, but it could've been better as well. It could be something SOOO simple like a flower and attract someone. I don't know how to feel about your cover, maybe its the font.

Rating: 5/10

Summary: I like it, but you can give a more clearer picture of what's inside if you feel like you would like that.

Rating: 8/10

Technical Issues:

Grammar: Grammar usually isn't a thing in poetry HOWEVER, there are 2 sentences that I saw that they couldn't be passed for grammar mistakes.

I wonder if I could've be ambitious--> Been

There are happiness, sadness, anger, love, tolerance, joyfulness---> Joy

With just a bit spontaneous--> Spontaneity

Rating: 8.5/10

Spelling: You have some spelling mistakes but they're not many.

Rating: 8/10

Punctuation: I won't comment on the punctuation cause its not really a major thing in poetry.

Rating: 10/10

The heart of the book:

🌟Alright, so, poetry is solely based on emotions. In your poems, I just didn't feel them deep inside my heart, if you know what I mean. For example, In "Melancholy" I felt like you're giving a speech more than writing poetry, cause it wasn't really touching which might be only according to my opinion. You should try showing emotions through NEW metaphors and similes that you create BUT DONT OVERDO IT.

Sight
Smell
Hearing
Motion
Taste
And Touch

Are really important when it comes to poetry.

🌟

Okay, so, in these two poems, the stereotyping really made me a bit angry. Not all men are outspoken, not all men are themselves, not all of them CHOOSE their jobs or even succeed and not all of them are perverted animals. Likewise, not all girls are smart, not all girl ace maths or pay attention in class, not all of the girls are seductive and most of the girls are extremely outspoken.
Why stereotype?

🌟You're not forced to rhyme, and you should focus on when to do it because it could either make the poem extremely valuable or completely ruin it. In my opinion, in the type of poetry you write, you shouldn't use rhymes because they make you limited to specific words that don't help in improving the poem.

I wrote irrelevant on the red highlighted part because it has nothing to do with the poem.. So what if they cry for so long? Is that why you like a child's smile? Not because its adorable and they have little lips and the happiness fill their eyes?

The last part again, shouldn't be in a poem, it made me feel like I'm forced to like it now that you said that.. Readers don't like to be forced. You could've just wrote it in the Author's note, then it would've been fine.

The red highlighted part is also irrelevant.
The blue part is so unnecessary.. Why use "Ye" it has nothing to do with your normal language, you didn't need that rhyme.
Why do you write "For me"? I felt like it turned from a poem to a diary.

🌟The Author's note at the beginning of the book.. You should be confident about what you write. If it's your art and its something you're proud of creating then you should feel like what you are presenting is the best piece ever. Be confident with what you write so people would like it.

Suggestions/Compliments:

In my opinion, I really think you have the potential to be an amazing poet.

I think you need to revise after you write.
Also, focus on creating images that portray your message instead of actually saying your message out loud.

In my opinion, I think you should also shorten the poems a little, and convey a message in between the lines so the reader would understand it their own way.
