Towering feet taller,
glaring down, freezing cold eyes.

Pit in stomach growing deeper,
prickling frail fingers.

Stare up, swallow hard,
step forward.
This is from the prompt "There was No Way This Could be a Fair Fight." That's kind of a mouthful... XP But I like how it ended up in couplets... haha

Is the imagery strong enough, or is it too short for the senses to be conveyed?? D:

Hello. I'm doing a critique for :theWrittenRevolution:

The way I'll start is by answering your questions and then giving you some of my own personal feelings and advice.

Personally the I believe that yes, you could have added more description when it came to the senses however I also believe that right now, its beautiful just the way it is. I liked the way that the poem suggested a rhyme or rhythm because when I was reading it for the first time it felt kind of like a song.

My favorite line was

Stare up, swallow hard,
step forward.

The words were beautiful because they kind of blended together not only because all the words started with an 'S' but also because it also implied transition.
