Review for Sarah

Pa-Cee-If-I-Cee: I really like the image of the sea you have illustrated for us in this poem and the allusion to your own life. I really liked the lines "calibrating my compass rose / oxidized copper embellished with reds". The poem has good flow, much like the sea you have introduced to us in this poem. Whether you are speaking metaphorically about this desire to explore the vast sea, I am not sure, but I like the idea of self realization and the idea that although you have never been sailing you understand that everything is connected somehow "as vast as the sea"

The Sarah Spectrum: Let me start off by saying I love the name you gave this poem. I think it perfectly portrays the message you are writing about and also adds a personal touch and helps the reader to understand you more. All of the colors you have used have completely saturated the poem with bright and bold images. One of my part parts of this poem is when you describe blue as the color of his eyes and how "blue is something he will never make me feel." Not to sound corny, but I thought this part was really cute =) I appreciate the way you have taken color here and incorporated it into a mood/emotion.
