Lost love

[alonso ramoran]

When you say "Interesting image. It's a shame you didn't expand on this. I find you presenting images throughout the poem that you just glaze over."

I am not sure to understand that concept; if imagery is used, either it works or it doesn't. If it works, it says what it needs to, if it doesn't, it should be out. In which case and why should it be expanded? If it needs to be expanded, why bother?

You're right on that. But with phrases like "knights defending the last turret" to be followed up with butterflies being lost in a desert, I feel like needs a little more context. This would give me, as the reader, a little more sense as to what is going on, instead of giving me a list of images.
