Review: Bright Red and Thank You
Review: Bright Red and Thank You
Right away, I liked the image evoked by the title of Bright Red, and the title Thank You caught my attention, too; “Thank You for what?”
I was bummed out before I read Bright Red and felt worse after I read it, “It’s been a bad day,” so this poem was successful in eliciting an emotional response from this reader. The sarcasm in Thank You created a tone that changed victim to victor. These poems are pithy, despite their terseness. More words do not always = more meaning and you don’t always need to see the body to know that someone died.
One suggestion: Point of view, “Who can help you now” to “Who can help her now?”
