OVERALL IMPRESSION: Would I ever hate to be on your list. The Raccoon Family certainly ticked you off, however I don't think eating one of their offspring is the solution. WRITE ON!
ERRORS: A few punctual were noticed, but did not take away from the entry in my opinion. For example, no comma is needed after "disillusion", and a comma come after "the sun".
SUGGESTIONS: None other than those mentioned above.
MY THOUGHTS: You did a fabulous job of using the prompt. The rhythm is sensational, and the imagery just as terrific. I love the way the poem begins with the whispers of the rainbow. I have no personal favorites. I think the item is great from beginning to end.
ERRORS/SUGGESTIONS: Other than a couple of words that did not follow the same rhyming pattern as the others, such as "all and "awe", and "ship" and "crypt", there were no errors noticed and no suggestions to offer for improvement.
WHAT I LIKED: The rhythm and imagery are excellent overall. You did a wonderful job of using the prompt for this week. I doubt there is a reader here who could not relate to the entry. It is like being on the ship mentioned in the poem when our Muse decides to falter for a bit. Thank goodness for the voice that keeps us inspired!

ERRORS: "Slinging myself into" should be "Slinging myself onto" instead. "breath" should be "breathe".
SUGGESTIONS: Just an opinion, bit I think "but I never thought it would be more requiring than there are hours in a day." would be better if worded like so: "but I never thought it would be so demanding." "in my ears" could be deleted after "The silence", and still have the same effect.
OVERALL IMPRESSION: You did a good job describing military life from routine expectations to the coffin. The ending was a mystery to me. I wondered if it was fact or a dream about his brother. I liked that.

SUGGESTIONS: None I can think of that would improve the item.
MY THOUGHTS: You did a fantastic job with the imagery used in describing the house and its inhabitants. Although I know it might not be up to you and your friends standards, it is still home. I'm certain times will change as mentioned in the poem.

OVERALL IMPRESSION: The poem really tugged at my heart. The imagery used in describing the woman and her emotions was heartbreaking, especially the last three verses. It is sad thinking that no one heard or saw her pain.

SUGGESTIONS: None other than the ones already mentioned above.
OVERALL IMPRESSION: You did a super job of relaying what love means to you, although I do not think genuine love is painful. If it is not real, love is only a word. It can be both painful and destructive if unreal.
