*Jackolantern* Title, Hook, and Formatting: I like the title of your poem and the first sentence is a good hook. Who doesn't like dusk and nature poems? It's a quick read as well and held my attention throughout.

*Jackolantern* Best Bits: There are some really great lines in here. The first line for example, The raven calls at midnight, had a lot of great imagery. It set the dark mood of the poem. I loved the idea of a song fluttering on the wind. It really reminded me of that time of day.

*Jackolantern* Possible Suggestions: I was tripping over my tongue trying to read some parts of the poem. The second stanza in particular doesn't flow quite smoothly to me. I think it's the use of so many prepositional phrases. On the wind/in distance/in moonlight/throughout the day all within four short lines was a bit much. I think the lack of punctuation might hurt it a bit too. For example, And echoes in distance away is very hard to read smoothly unless you know where to pause to connect it to the line before and after. I had to read it a couple times to get it to flow.

*Jackolantern* Summary: Overall, I enjoyed reading your poem. I think you have some great lines of imagery. I would suggest reworking some of the phrasing to make it flow better. Try reading it out loud to yourself and seeing where you need to pause in order to have a nice rhythm. Thanks again for sharing with us!
