Mia's Critique of Taj's poem

First, I like that you paint a scene in the beginning of the poem in the first when you’re sitting in the chair and hands are still. I also like how the title of the poem “Museless” is defined in the first stanza. It’s basically straightforward opposed to being so abstract, which I think is a good thing. Another thing that I liked was in the last line of the poem when you say “My opus lays stillborn, nebulous in the ether” I thought it was a good description and a nice way to end the poem because it also gives the reader a sense of you actually being museless. I think that the third line of the poem “Where in days past words would flow” would fit more into the last stanza opposed to the first because in the second stanza when you’ve already talked about sketching upon these muses, and you go into the third stanza when you talk about basically being museless I think that it will flow better into this stanza where days may actually pass and no words from a muse has spoken to you. I also thought that in the first two lines of the last stanza you could have been a little bit more descriptive and concrete; it just seems like going from the first two stanzas into the third one it went from concrete details to very abstract. it would have been nice to actually know what kind of muse you were sketching upon and what suddenly made you museless afterwards, so a little more detail I think would have took this poem to the next level.
