Archaeology Comments

I think you should be an archeologist... well aside from being a great poet :)

Hi Michael - good that we have young and up and coming poets from the City of Culture. Archeology is a very interesting subject are you intending to study it at Uni? Best wishes in you A-levels. The form of the poem is good four quatrains and then a 'free verse' ending in a nice relaxed conversational style - in poetry all is permissible! In essence the nice flowing ABAB rhyme you established in the first two quatrians should have continued in three and four but you are young - you are from Liverpool - so you can dictate the subject - the form - the rhyme and the rhythm! Keep on with your poetry.

it sounds like you really care about this subject and that is good. You find something you like and you go for it. Good work.

Michael, I enjoyed your poem especially for the fact that you seem so passionate of about the field of archeology. The only issue I had was with some of the rhyming stanzas towards the latter half of the poem which were a bit akward. Now depending on what poetic style you were going for, I could be mistaken in my pointing this out but it stood out to me. Regardless, it was a very nice poem.

I think you should and I like the poem.
