*Note1* My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines.

*Reading* THE POEM

A poem about the start of a camping trip and the excitement it brings.

*Idea* WHAT I LIKED

I was never a big camper growing up, but when my boys did Boy scouts, we started to go camping as a family and honestly, it brought out a wonder in all of us - just being in nature and slowing down a bit. This poem captured those family feelings and moments perfectly!

*Star* STRUCTURE

This is free form poem. There is no apparent rythme scheme. There is a prompt which is not to include the following: favorite, home, house, island, and vacation and the author does a great job with the prompt. In that regard, but not using those words, it's made the poem stronger.

*Star* MECHANICS

I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes. The poem is easy to read. If anything, I might suggest using WDC ML to increase the font to make it easier to read.

*Star* DESCRIPTIONS

I liked: "The thunderous roar of waterfalls, quiets and soothes my inner turmoil." There's two opposite things going on here, the roar of the waterfalls and how it soothes the soul. Oftentimes, just nature's uncertainty, tamed, will tap into a person's emotions with that sense of awe and wonder and have that effect. This description really gives the poem depth.


*Star* PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS

The opening engages the reader, putting them in the moment, and keeps them reading. The title fits the poem well. A poem like this, really says a lot with its honest, easy voice and it's ability to connect to those who have gone camping and appreciated the great outdoors. Nice, heartfelt expression.
