Here are a few lines written by Sir Henry Newbolt about a cricket match. Read them out loud and get a sense of the pace and rythmn.... There's a breathless hush in the Close tonight - Ten to make and a match to win - A bumping pitch and a blinding light, An hour to play and the last man in. Highly evocative, I think. I really like your poem, it has some nice imagery but I really feel it could do with one more edit. If you read it out loud a couple of times you may agree with me that some words could be edited as they obstruct the rythmn and obscure the imagery. By the way the final line is excellent! Good luck! |
