Don’t read

Talia Garza Hernandez

Dizain
I wrote a haiku without tale
then I wrote a Tanka for her
the story was about pale
country where the damp traps you fierce
detached landscape furious fire
papyrus, the long river pierce
I started writing a nouveau
with no end, Mallarmé is heir
he writes the fancy book to dress
letters, the reader wish no more

    Wow! Your poem 'Don't Read' is truly unique and creative. I love how you experimented with different forms of poetry, from haiku and tanka to nouveau, and managed to weave an interesting story about a pale and damp country that captivates the reader's imagination.

    The use of language and imagery is also impressive. The description of the detached and fierce landscape with the papyrus piercing the long river is very vivid and powerful. Additionally, the reference to Mallarmé adds a touch of sophistication to the overall poem.

    If there's one suggestion I could make, it would be to perhaps incorporate more sensory language to further immerse the reader in the setting, such as describing the smell or sound of the dampness, or the feeling of the furious fire.

    Overall, great job and keep up the good work!
