This afternoon, Am I Invisible? was presented to my classmates for a workshop. Overall, I received positive, consistent feedback. Immediately, everyone recognized the topic of the poem being a love that is not returned. They agreed that it was a universal topic that many people could understand.
While they all enjoyed the similes and metaphors, they agreed that I could flesh out the images a bit more and provide more detail. To really get into the images and explain them.
The other really good advice was about the ending. Mostly the issue about how it doesn't really wrap up. There's no answer to all the questions. I completely agreed with this viewpoint and definitely need to figure that out.
Overall, I was so pleased with the workshop and I'm surprised that this poem is taking me so far. It was such a spontaneous poem and having it end up becoming successful without me trying too much is very satisfying.
