Hi Carly,

This is a fantastic poem. The tone is full of excitement and anticipation. It grabs all the reader's attention and makes them want to read on. The poem is about the excitement of waiting to open presents on Christmas. I remember well waiting to see what was in those lovely packages under the tree. I love Christmas. 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.
