RE: [Original Poetry] Runaway Rhymes: The Promise
Oh yeah, I liked how you framed it that way. You need rain to get a rainbow, so that's a very good analogy. The journey is what really drove me to compare this to a ballad. Even though this is a poem, it really felt like a complete story. Hope really does shine in the ending :D
Ballads are still poems, I guess. Usually with music. But to me songs and poems are very similar. And I sometimes have a sort of rhythm in my head, especially for these more rhyming poems. But I'm happy to hear your thoughts, and how it feels to you. That's the most important thing for me, as a writer.
I'm exactly the same way! I know that poems are good when background music starts playing as I read them. The words come alive and kind of dance to the rhythm.
I also feel that feedback is one of the most crucial aspects in writing, that's why I'm so eager to provide my thoughts. It's just so fortunate that you return the favor, and we're able to bounce valuable feedback off each. I really do hope that it'll rub off on more people, and we could create a community that's bustling with honest (and hopefully encouraging) interaction :D
As the numbers here build, then so too will those who contribute in this manner. It would be great to have a thriving writers community here. Helping, encouraging, critiquing each other's work. Lets see what the future holds.
