Hi Elisa,

This is a fantastic poem. The tone is aggressive. It grabs all the reader's attention and makes them want to read on. The poem is about survival after hurricanes. We live through Hurricane Igor making landfall in our province. We had no power for days, and the clean up took days. Thankfully people all pitched in and helped each other clear their property of fallen trees and fix property damage. It was a mess. I loved this poem and read to the last word. 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.
