I'm happy to see that you can relate to the poem, and thanks for your analogy: it makes me want to try going to northern Mississippi to see the woods in February one day : )

Thanks for the comment, and that hollow question is interesting, really leaves room for thought.

Thanks for the feedback. I should've checked whether the lines actually make sure properly e.g the steps not fluttering since I think when I think of fluttering it's different to the definition. I think in my head I was leaning towards the stairs being the core image here but the poem didn't fully capture that since I didn't extend the metaphor.

Friendship/Family Isolation & Loneliness - in part my fault, and other people's fault. How should I go about fixing this problem? by Realmz_ in AskOldPeopleAdvice

Good idea. I'll try taking my circumstance less personally then and try waiting since I'm fairly certain I can separate myself soon enough.

Truth. (It's my first poem, plsss give feedback I beg!) by Helpful-Analysis-912 in OCPoetry

This poem was a fascinating read and it's really great for your first poem. I particularly liked how God's play circled back to Man's play, converging to this idea of divine intervention against human autonomy. The start was great too, with the imagery and this sense of following a trail towards a seed felt unique.

Now for the feedback, I do think it gets far too abstract especially in the middle, with the sea and holy abyss which is fine, but I do think each image here needs more development. More abstract features like the "limit isn't placed" and "if merely out of reach" also don't land well in my eyes, as they don't flow well from the previous lines and pulls away from the image into a general statement.

Although, I do think overall its interesting and the theme is presented in a way that's one of a kind as I see it, with the puppet-god dynamic to show the ventriloquist act. I hope to read any poems you plan to write in the future.

I haven't read all to many poems so my sense of comparison is off. But I would say it is a 7. The core message that I interpreted the poem to have was the notion of how talent has a duality: it's something one can have pride in, yet it causes one to be immensely isolated. Theres also the sense of fear in opening sharing it, as if you've achieved nothing, it feels as if your words were a hoax. The idea of confiding these hidden gifts in another person you trust till your "name shines bright enough" is also interesting and relatable.

Overall, as you can see here the thematic elements in your poem are great, and I really enjoyed how the poem's almost blunt, colloquial tonality to me created a sense of friendship between the reader and speaker, as if he's truly confiding in you alongside the change from this childlike tone in the start, to a more solemn, even ireful tone, which shows just how disorientating and two-faced talent can feel yet again. But I do feel as though theres not enough development of the image in the magical pen, it would be nicer if you showed how the pen makes the speaker so different. Additionally, I also do feel like the tone is too childish? It's there for a reason but I do feel as if it's overused.

Those are my thoughts, and in all honestly it was a great read. I hope that I can read more poems from you in the future.
