Hello, ridinghhood-p.boutilier
I'm sending this review as part of I Write in 2019

My Impression
This is an interesting poem. I love the last line. I was confused about how the pool could both have water in it and a person floating in it, and somehow be empty at the same time. However, that's not a criticism, I think something else must be meant by "empty" here. It doesn't bother me that I don't understand...it encourages deep thought, and that's always a nice quality in a poem.


Suggestions
Is the line at the bottom about the tarot the prompt for the Writer's Cramp? If not, it might be nice to add the prompt so we can get an idea of what was being asked.


Grammar/Punctuation/Usage
Just one thing. It should be "the water glassy, warm (comma) and buoyant"


Rating Explanation
This is quite a lovely poem. I like it more each time I read it. I'm giving this a 5. Nice job, and good luck in the contest!
