My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines. THE POEM A poem that speaks to the poet's friendship with Katherine. WHAT I LIKED I enjoyed the honest, candid tone of the poem. I could feel the respect the poet had for her friend. STRUCTURE This is an acrostic poem. This is style of poetry where the first letter of a word or phrase is used to start the line of a poem. MECHANICS I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes. Good use of WDC ML to highlight the letters and I liked how the picture captured the concept of the essence of friendship. DESCRIPTIONS I liked: "Testing the waters of courage and faith," This is a great description of how friends come together with shared experiences and the same or near temperaments in courage and faith. I picture friends sharing a challenging experience and emerging stronger in their friendship. PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS The opening introduces the reader to Katherine and keeps them reading, wanting to find out more. The title fits the poem. Feeling friendship is a really positive emotion that taps into respect and reverence which comes across here. Acrostics can be a challenge due to their limitations, but the poet meets the challenge nicely. An Angel Army Review
