I am so unqualified to critique poetry that I ought not to write at all. But I did want to tell you I thought the poem was quite beautiful. It made me think of Faramir sending a message to Boromir after the vision of his body in the canoe. I'm not sure if you intended me to feel something that specific or not, but that's how I read this lovely piece.
Author Reply: Yes, that's exactly what it is about! If you haven't read Fileg's story about him actually doing that you should - it's brilliant. The weakness of the poetry in this really does make me cringe (I hesitated a lot about whether it was good enough to post at SoA) but then I'm *very* critical of my poetry. Thank you very much for liking it - it makes me feel much better. |
