Hi Beck Firing back up! Author Icon,

This review is a part of "I Write in 2024" Open in new Window. [13+]. *Smile*

Overall Impression:

I admire people who can tackle this poetry form. I truly do. I've been wanting to enter the current round of "The Bard's Hall Contest" Open in new Window. [13+], but acrostic poetry and I simply do not get along. I was curious, then, how you met the challenge, and I am impressed! This is a fun, entertaining poem. It makes for an enjoyable read.

The poem's subject is St. Patrick's Day, and you have woven plenty of Irish themes through its 13 lines. There are songs and cabbages, corned beef and green fields. There are some fun phrases and shenanigans. You definitely show a love of Ireland in this piece and brought a smile to this reader's face.

On the technical side of things, this poem reads well. It meets all the requirements of the form. It has a pleasant rhythm and some nice rhyme. All in all, good work!

Suggestions:

I do have a couple of suggestions, dear author. I hope that you will find them helpful!

Title:

*Snow2* 'St.. Patrick's Day' should be St. Patrick's Day.

Line 10:

*Snow2* I think that 'Scotts' should be Scots.

Line 12:

*Snow2* 'Aalone' should be Alone - little typo.

My Rating:

This is a fun poem. I am glad I got to read and review it.

I did have some suggestions, but one was about the title and the other ones were tiny. For that reason, I shall give your item a rating of 4.5 out of 5.

Thank you for sharing your work, and best of luck in the contest!

Kit
