Form, Format, Rhyme and Meter: A deep and emotional free verse form poem where the author questions past choices made in child rearing. This work carries a consistent realistic tone throughout. I feel most people will be able to relate with this poem.
Human nature is a mysterious thing. Indeed there are people that it would seem you just cannot help, the more you try only seems to make it worse. We really never know what's going on in another person's mind without walking in their shoes.
Artistic Voice and Imagery: I see the image of a parent questioning their past decisions concerning raising a child. Finally accepting what has been done is done. Concluding it is time to leave the past behind us and move on to the future.
Grammar, Spelling and Mechanics: I can find no problems with the grammar, spelling or mechanics of this deep work that has got this reader's mind spinning.
Form, Format, Rhyme and Meter: A unique and original lady is portrayed from this short yet well described to work.

Form, Format, Rhyme and Meter: I know for a fact that writer's cramp contest with a 24 hour time limit can most often turn into a race with time. The deadline is getting close and even though we're not happy with our work we quickly try to meet the requirements and send it, so we can call it finished. Sounds so easy yet time catches up too quick.
This seems like one of the more complicated prompts although I think you met the prompt words well. It appears that the time started catching up causing a bit of a rush to finish making the finished product look a bit more like a rough draft. Personally I have quite a collection of these unsubmitted works that time caught up and I was not happy. Therefore going into file 13 where I'll finish when I get time [probably never] yet work and ideas that will be subconsciously possibly used in the future.
Artistic Voice and Imagery: I see the image of a modern writer trying to cram the contents of a unfinished masterpiece into the last hour of a contest deadline.
Grammar, Spelling and Mechanics: I can find no problem at all with the grammar spelling or mechanics of this entertaining work.
JCosmos thank you for sharing your poem.

Form, Format, Rhyme and Meter: An interesting romance poem focusing on the positive inspirational outlook.
Written in the style of a romance poem to the one that got away.

Positive that there is a masterpiece inside the stone yet no idea what it looks like. Determined they keep chiseling away at the stone to eventually uncover the hidden treasure.

Shezi thank you for sharing your work. This is only one humble opinion.

Grammar, Spelling and Mechanics: I see no problems at all with the grammar spelling or mechanics of this deep entertaining work.
Consider experimenting with taking out two of the repeating lines at the end. They are not needed.

Is the dialog appropriate for the speaker?
My two cents is only one opinion. Overall impressions: Writers Cramp contest is much harder than anybody realizes, at least for me. You have 24 hours but usually by the time I see the prompt then decide to try. There's about 10 hours left and it's bedtime. A great contest though it teaches you to get it out there instead of tweaking it over and over looking for that elusive perfection.
Looks like you've done a great job here. A good opening however it could be stronger to grab my attention better. A good realistic storyline. Fantastic structure with great descriptions. I can almost taste those steaks.
