Hi Horus!
This was interesting, but I'm not entirely sure what to make of it. Who or what is the Turtle? What's so special about a hug?
Lost it sits and stares afar,
Wond’ring what had come.
A romance made to fly so long,
had now begun to plunge.
Introducing a romance as a subject and from then on talking about "it" made me think that the "it" was the romance, but the last lines seem to say that the "it" is the mysterious Turtle. Unless the Turtle and the romance are the same thing? So who is the "she" referred to here?
With all out there for she to see
It couldn’t bear the fall.
The rhyme scheme is very good, and when I read it out loud it all seemed to run smooth, and it sounded pleasant. I didn't like the repetition of "it"; it got rather repetitive, and because "it" sounds so impersonal, it didn't engage me or let me connect to any kind of character. It gives the whole poem a very cold and detached tone, which makes it difficult to find any emotion in the language.
I guess overall, add in greater variety in the language so it's more emotive and engaging and creates a better picture of what you're saying, because at present it's a little empty. Also expand more on the mysterious Turtle because I'd like to see more of it, or at least understand it better.
PM or Wall me if you have any questions!
