Hi Sara,

This is a fantastic poem. The tone is tinged with fear and hope. It grabs all the reader's attention and makes them want to read on. The poem is about a woman who is about to be burned as a witch, but is looking forward to being free when she rises again. I am hoping that the people intent on killing her do learn the error of their ways. I read to the last word to see if this happens. I loved this poem. The free verse works well in this poem, and you have handled it very well. There is a wonderful rhythm here. The poem flows extremely well. It is a pleasure to read. You have used punctuation and grammar consistently in this poem. There is nothing to distract the reader from their reading pleasure. Great job.
