Talk:Lament of Val-Tymia

I usually consider poetry more fitted to dissertation or description than narration, since (The way I see it) good narrative poetry is harder to come by than good narrative prose. This is one of the good narrative poetry. It manages to tell a story while still following the more rigid system of organization and musicality of poetry. The rhymes and verses are very organized, still, each stanza manages to tell its part of the story.

The only thing that could be possibly wrong with the poem is one case of forced rhyme (Avail with Ha'Ael) and that the plot is not throughly clear since we have little idea who those guys (Er, "Gods") are and how is the place they live. But this is still one of the better examples of narrative poetry I've seen (On this site). All in all, It's not an "Os Lusíadas", but it works in its own simplicity. --Nonimportant 00:30, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
