“Recuerdo” By Edna St. Vincent Millay Review

Two people have one of those nights that you remember forever – and this poem captures that memory. They travel back and forth on a ferry all night, taking time to grab dinner, lie on a hill and look at the stars, and huddle up by a fire. As they ride the ferry, the sun starts to come up.

To be honest with you here it is a funny little poem. Even though it isn’t the best poem. 

This plot in this poem is pretty bad and not much to talk about here. But again im not a poem person so don’t take my word for it, because I don’t know anything about poems expect oft the fact that I’ve read couple of poems. 

The writing style here was pretty okay here. I would say that the average poem writing style. I didn’t read a lot of poems so I don’t know if that’s good or not.

However it made some good points, so because of that it gets some extra points from me. 

I give this poem 2 / 5

“If I Told Him, A Completed Portrait of Picasso” By Gertrude Stein Review

So this one surprised me because it turned out to be a diss poem against Pablo Picasso.

The story in this poem wasn’t that unique but still I found myself enjoying it at times but still it could have been better.

There were times where this poem was really interesting but overall it was boring and I dint care for it. 

The writing style here was super bad which really pissed me off because it really took the wind out of this poem. 

I give this poem 2 / 5

“Dover Beach” By Matthew Arnold Review

The poem expresses a crisis of faith, with the speaker acknowledging the diminished standing of Christianity, which the speaker sees as being unable to withstand the rising tide of scientific discovery.

The plot in this one is kind of controversial here, but I gotta Gove the author points for some of the things he said in this poem. 

This poem makes some very good points about extremism and faith in god or satan depending on what you believe.

The writing style in this one was kind of weak, it felt like this poem was just a draft which got published by a mistake.

To me this poem felt like melancholic and almost nihilistic for whatever reason.

I give this poem 2 / 5

“Musée des Beaux Arts” By W.H. Auden Review

The major theme of this poem is about the nature of human suffering.

This poem was just below okay. It had some good parts here and there parts were not good enough for me to give it a higher rating.

The plot in this poem was the most generic plot which you can find in a plot because it’s about human suffering. 

The writing style here was okay for the most part but sometimes it was taking a dive which really pissed me off because it really killed the mood of this poem even more.

I give this poem 2 / 5

“Elizabeth” By Edgar Allan Poe Review

It was written for Edgar Allan Poe’s Baltimore cousin, Elizabeth Rebecca Herring.

I gotta say that it pissed me off because it is full of expiation from Edgar Allan Poe about the topic of why he had written it the way he did.

The writing style in this one was good but quit not on the level with Edgar Allan Poe. Which really disappointed me because I had sort of high expectations for this one. 

This poem doesn’t have neither the Edgar Allan Poe vibe to it because I really missed in this because the plot to this one was really speaking that it was written by Edgar Allan Poe.

I give this poem 2/ 5

“After Apple-picking” By Robert Frost Review

This poem focuses on someone who’s exhausted after a long day’s work in an apple orchard. Drifting between wakefulness and sleep, the poem’s speaker replays the day’s events while feeling anxious about all the apples left unpicked.

So this one in my opinion was better than the last poem we talked about written by Robert Frost but still I had hard time connecting with this story which again leads to low rating. 

This poem is tricky because you sort of can’t put it in ant specified category. But it’s fun when poems and books are tricky at least in my opinion.

The writing style for the most part was okay but as someone who have read multiple poems by Robert Frost I know that he can do better than this. But still I had fun reading this poem.

As I said above somewhere this poem didn’t speak to me, but still it is worth the read and it will won’t take you longer than 3 minutes to read it.

This poem needs to get some extra points for the symbolism in it. The symbolism in this poem is about the fallen apples being turned into apple cider.

Some of you may find this poem boring because there isn’t a lots of action in it and there isn’t a lots of things happening in this one. But some of you may enjoy it a lot.

I give this poem 2 / 5

“Fragmentary blue” By Robert Frost Review

This short poem of eight lines is from New Hampshire which is about our love of blue colour. 

Before we go further i need to mention that this poem gets some extra points from me because this poem is one of these poems written by Robert Frost which sort of express a passing thought, observation or reflection, without being very profound. And i love when this happens.

This poem is even more fascinating because of the regard it has about the colour blue  which is the orientation of this poem.

This poem is well written and it is sort of bringing your imagination to work to imagine all the things which this poem gives you.

However I had hard time connecting with this poem which is why I give it so low rating as I did. 

At the time of writing this article / post this poem had only 2 ratings on Goodreads and I was one of these 2 ratings. And I don’t know why because this poem should be read by more people. 

The story in this poem is pretty okay but it didn’t speak to me but I appreciate it  and I’m glad that I read it because I give me a little bit of different perspective. 

I give this poem 2 / 5

“Christmas Trees” By Robert Frost Review

This poem is about a city man who comes to the speaker’s country farm offering to buy all the pine trees behind his farmhouse to sell in the city as Christmas trees.

I mentioned this in previous reviews but I do it again Im a fan of winter and Christmas stories and this poem is one of them however this one didn’t do much for me. And I’m not a fan of poetry of course I read poetry on the reg but not like Im reading it everyday and can talk about it for hours. 

This poem really tells a story and it isn’t just a random x amount of lines poem which doesn’t mean anything deeper. This poem tells a good story about a rich man who comes to a Christmas tree farm. 

The writing style here is amazing and it really makes you imagine what you are reading in this poem. 

The message of this poem can be read in different ways depends on the person who is reading it. But the 2 message i got from this poem was sort of anti-commercialism message and the second was that things may have bigger value than you think they have. And let me know what message you got from this poem would love to know it.

I had a hard time connecting with this poem and it because of this that I give it so low rating. 

This poem gets 2 / 5

“Mending Wall” By Robert Frost Review

The poem revolves around the story of two neighbours who come across each other in spring every year to mend the stone wall that separates their farms.

This poem was actually one of the better once I’ve read so far. I like it a lot but there are some things with this poem which didn’t go with me but I just can’t put the word on what it is.

I like the premise of this poem which is to show us the reader how a fences can create good neighbours. But it also shows us how people can sort of can preserve their long-lasting relations with neighbours by founding such walls. But i feel like this topic is over used now on days.

In this poem Robert Frost gives us a crusty persona in this poem. And for the most part this poem is full of wallops.

The whole story in this poem is about 2 men who meet to repair the wall dividing their property. It was good but at times it felt provoking and settling at the same time.

The narrator in this poem question the purpose of the fence between the neighbours.

Overall it is a good poem. But it didn’t do much for me personally. Some of you may love it or like it.

This poem gets 2 / 5

“What the Moon Brings” By H.P. Lovecraft Review

This short story is shorter than most of H.P Lovecraft’s other short stories which really speaks for itself don’t you think?

This short story is based on one of H.P Lovecraft’s dreams which pretty relevant and common technique when it comes to H.P Lovecraft.

The plot it pretty poor but after all this short story is essentially a fragment of something longer. And I truly wish that the whole thing would be published instead of this little fragment. 

The writing style was poor here as well, of course it had some good parts in it but as a whole thing in this short story the writing style is pretty poor. So there isn’t much to talk about here.

This one has nothing to make this short story stand out from the rest. Which really speaks for itself. 

However I need to give this short story points for having the feeling when you are reading it that you are stepping into another person’s dream sequence. 

I give this short story 2 / 5
