RE: Family trips/Original poem [100 Days poetry challenge (Day 89, Poem 87)]

in #poetry6 years ago

It is good to see that you are still writing so prodigiously. As far as I can see you have been one of the most consistent writers in this competition. Again, congratulations on another wonderful piece. You seemed to have gotten over those dark times and have presented us with something very lighthearted.

The family is always a wonderful topic to tackle, especially in these times when most things seem so glum. I have a few suggestions. These are simple editing mistakes which I am sure is due to having to meet a daily deadline:

My son; behind her mother,

I assume that his is the word you want here. A simple yet understandable mistake.

halogen lights were repeated on the windshield

I am not certain if repeated is the word you want here. Maybe it is a misreading and might I daresay, misunderstanding on my part. If that is the case, please explain your choice of words. Again, as always, and enjoyable read.

Sort:  

How should I say? Remember that I work with a translator. Thanks friend

Just change her to his for the first line.

For the second, I would say: While the halogen lights shone through the windshield. But this is my suggestion. I am not certain what exactly you were trying to convey. My greatest issue is with the word repeated.

But because I have not read the original version, I maybe overstepping my boundaries.

Thanks for the suggestion my friend. As for halogen lights, the idea is that the lights of the opposing cars make us feel uncomfortable when they come from the front.
