Review of Jennie Osborne’s poem ‘On the line’

Review of Jennie Osborne’s poem ‘On the line’ I request readers to read the poem from the link https://www.acumen-poetry.co.uk/jennie-osborne/?doing_wp_cron=1681269589.2339890003204345703125 and then only my review. Thanks. Often a block buster movie is followed by a short film on the making of the movie. Jennie’s poem ‘On the line’ is impressive as the poem gives you how and when the poem was made. Abstract poems give us a visualization by the poet and to the extent the visualization is hazy the poem is abstract. On the other hand, poems that are conceived instantly in a serene ambience take the reader to the backdrop magically. This poem makes the non-British instantly Google to find where ‘Crewkerne’ is located. The following lines are poetic in depiction of beauty of nature: although we can’t see them yet, these black and white Friesians that have parked their ample rumps across the straight line on our maps, penned us in a spot where even satellites’ signals are overshadowed and we are cut out from our lives, The reader relates to this stanza instantly because she highlights the oddity and relief when an urbanite enters a remote place where there is no link to networks. The last stanza reveals the moment at which the poem was conceived: till the trolley rattles through, dispensing its gospel that all will be well for we have tea. Either the theme must be whole new, or the approach and expression distinct to impress the reader. This poem falls under the latter category. The expressions are different and it does not matter at all this is one more poem in depiction of nature. It is relatable and impressive.
