Hi, KingsSideCastle , I am Prosperous Snow celebrating , I am reviewing "Castle's Chessboard"  "Green Apples" , because I discovered it on the "I Write in 2024"  forum page.

First Impression: The first stanza establishes the form, theme, and mood of the poem. The rhythm and rhyming words compliment each other, while the rhythm moves the description forward at a good pace.

Suggestions: I found no technical problems.

I like: The last stanza is my favorite. I like this stanza because they remind me of the green apple I had for my morning snack.

Final thoughts: I am giving this well-written poem a 5.0 because I enjoyed reading the description of the apples.
