My thoughts on Mental Health Service
I really like the use of voice throughout the piece! The speaker’s panic and escalating feelings are clearly depicted and it isn’t something I have really seen before when discussing emotions within poetry. I liked the fragmentary structure to the piece, adding to the feeling of not having fully-formed thoughts or a stable headspace. I also felt that the length of this poem also added to the tension between the speaker and reader and I really like that element. With the poem’s subject matter, you manage to add in key phrases within travelling ‘see it, say it, sorted’ and I felt that elevated the piece and really magnified the trigger of this poem.
This topic is obviously personal, and for that, I have to say thank you for sharing!

Yeah it’s a really poignant poem, with the structure replicating the main ethos of the poem. Feels like the alert message you would get from your phone/announcement you would hear on a megaphone which adds to the escalation of “Mental Health” emotions as you mentioned.

My thoughts on Beacon
I really like how the sense of familiarity and being someone’s comfort is paralleled within the language of the piece, having a constant rhyme scheme (all words ending in ‘ing’), I felt this really elevates the piece and adds a further element of depth to the poem.
The visuals are also beautifully written and feels nice to read in my head. Also, love the inclusion of the video!

I really enjoyed writing The Dance of the Fillywigs & exploring the creative freedom the poem gave me!
