Lena's review for "Reflection" and "Revolutions" by Becca Hutcheson
Reflections poem was about the sun interacting with the water surface. “Vibrant colors Softly dancing on a liquid stage and as they sway“I love the visual of the reflection of objects and the sun on the water. “Prancing about to no rhythm and in no orderly fashion it’s a chaotic beauty“I Like the visual explanations of the force and movement of the water tides and current as a dance. Could continue the slowing down of the rhythm of the water becoming quiet or still like a mirror with occasional animal or plant interaction across the water surface. The poem Revolutions was about the motion of a busy chaotic city. “Glass spinning doors Are swallowing people whole” I like the spinning doors continuing the theme of chaotic motion and personified as a monster or creature swallowing up the people. “Where have all the stars gone? The sky ate them up. Even the moonlight is fading now” I like this because it reminds me of a native American myth that when peoples of a tribe leave nature and become separate from nature they will lose the gift of sight and half of their selves of knowledge and insight. You could continue the revolutions with more motions from different city objects.
