This is a fairly unique poem that allows the reader to interpret what the writer saw in that momentary glance. I am still a bit baffled by the line "because I didn't know the must." I am not sure exactly what it means. Overall, I feel that this poem has good form and meter. There were no spelling errors and the grammar and punctuation are error free as well. Nice write.

This is quite a deep and insightful poem. To imagine what it would be like inside of one's mind is a very interesting concept. I don't think I would want to see mine. I enjoyed reading this piece.

I don't see any issues with the form or meter but there should be more punctuation. Mostly commas and periods. I didn't see and spelling or grammatical errors. Nice write my friend.

Review of The Darkest Eve  Open in new Window.
Rated: 18+ | (3.5)
Hello,

You are being reviewed for your entry in:

Overall Impression:
This poem is, in my opinion, a bit perplexing. I am not sure if "Eve" is a woman or a time of day. I read the poem a few times and I felt that it could be both so I am not sure of how I truly feel about this piece.

Form & Meter:
I don't see any issues with the form of this poem and the meter is fine as well.

Spelling, Grammar & Punctuation:
I didn't see any errors in this poem per say, however I will mention the lower case "i's". I personally don't feel that using them adds any particular emphasis to this poem. When I see them being used I have the impression that the writer just couldn't be bothered to hit the shift key. It makes things look sloppy and unfinished.

Also, in this line: those promised whispered you have filled
I am thinking 'promised' should be 'promises".

Closing Comments:
I hope you don't find this review too critical. That certainly wasn't my intention. Thanks for entering the contest.

I am fascinated by the way you brought this poem together. It didn't seem as if any of the things you mention would fit together but they do and that is amazing. You have an admirable gift.

Form & Meter:
I felt that the form of this poem worked well with the content of the poem. The overall flow of this piece is wonderful.

Spelling, Grammar & Punctuation:The grammar and punctuation are fine, however, I did find one spelling error: "thier" should be "their".

Ouch! I have to say that I could feel your anger and contempt oozing out of this poem in droves. I can also say I don't disagree with you one bit. You raise many good points with this piece that some may call controversial. It takes someone with a great deal of self confidence to openly express their feelings like you have here.

Looking at your poem from a technical standpoint, I will say that it contains a wide variety of imagery for the reader. The form is standard, the meter good and it is free of errors.

Thank you for sharing this with us.

Review of June Bride  Open in new Window.
Rated: ASR | (4.0)
Hello,

Overall Impression:
I agree that you need a good sense of humor to appreciate this poem. I loved it! I think you have got what being a 'bride' is all about.

Form, Rhyme, Meter:
I didn't see any problems with the form or the rhyme pattern in this piece. The meter however, starts to lose its grace in the 5th stanza. Take a look at the syllable count, it might help to even out the meter.

Spelling, Grammar & Punctuation:
No errors were found.

Closing Comments:
You gave me a good laugh with this poem. Thanks for entering the contest.

I like the feelings you express for the subject of this poem. However, it would be nice for the reader to know why they can't have the person they desire. I think it would add to the overall effect of the poem.

On a happier note, I can honestly say I can relate on a personal level to this poem. *Blush* It is well written has good form and meter and there are no errors.

Write on!

This poem about your father is very touching. I like that fact that you included so much of your history with him. It gives the read a bit of insight as to the kind of person you are.

As for the technical aspects of this poem. The form in which you have this poem suggests that it is free form or free verse but you have included a rhyme scheme. The two don't normally mix. I would suggest breaking the poem into stanzas with about 4 lines each.

I would also take a look at the syllable count in each line and try and keep them as even as possible. This will help with the overall flow of the poem.

On a lighter note, there were no errors found in this poem.

I can understand first hand the feelings expressed in this poem. I think that is why I find it so disturbing. When you love someone as much as the person in this poem loves the one they lost, we start losing our own identities. It becomes more of a dependency or obsession than love. Feeling sad, hurt even lost are normal. But when you just can't live without the other person in your life then you know something is wrong.

Your poem conveys many things to its readers. It has good form and meter and there are no errors.

I only mentioned what I did above in case this poem is written from personal experience. I didn't want you to feel you were alone. I hope it helped.

Overall Impression:
Breaking up is hard to do. We all have been there at one time or another and this poem highlights some of the sore spots.

Form & Meter:
The overall form of this poem is fine but there are a few places where the flow is a bit 'bumpy'. This of course is my opinion and only you know your work best.

Spelling, Grammar & Punctuation:
I didn't find any errors in this poem.

Closing Comments:
Loving someone is a wonderful thing but being dependent on them for our own happiness isn't. Something to think about. Write on!

I found my true love almost four years ago so I can relate on a very personal level with this poem. The feelings captured in this poem are full of life. Love is a wonderful thing and so is this poem.

The form is well displayed, the meter is fine and there weren't any errors. I thought the image you displayed at the end of this poem fit perfectly with the theme. Thanks for entering the contest.

I can tell from this poem that you care very deeply for your brother. The heartfelt sentiment in this poem is wonderful and evokes positive feeling in the reader. I think the form could use some work but overall the rest of the poem is fine. You did very well with the rhyme scheme. In closing I will mention that there were no errors found in this piece. Write on my friend.

There is no other way to describe this poem other than simply wonderful. It was truly a joy to read. The form is great, the meter is seamless and the rhyme scheme is divine! I think the most defining aspect of this poem is that it is written for family. The love you feel for them shows in your work. Thank you for entering the contest.

Round 4 Review. I am sorry it's so late.

Even though the content of this poem isn't anything to laugh about, I found myself quite amused with it. You have done a wonderful job with this piece and given me a much needed chuckle.

The form you chose is executed perfectly and the overall flow of the poem is ideal. I appreciate the fact that you added the information about the form at the bottom of this poem. It allows readers who may not be familiar with it to educate themselves.

On a technical note, I didn't find any spelling, grammatical or punctuation errors in this poem.

Write on!

Round 4

Hello,
I must say that I really enjoyed this poem. I have always been fascinated by crows and your poem describes them perfectly. The imagery you create with your descriptive wording allowed me to visualize these mysterious creatures with ease. The rhyme pattern in this piece is marvelous. It flows so well that when I read it, it almost felt like I was chanting. Bravo!

I must mention that there were no spelling, grammatical or punctuation errors in this piece. Nice work!!!

Thanks for entering the contest.

I love the memories brought to mind in this poem. They are ones to be cherished for a lifetime. However, I feel that the rhyme scheme in this poem was forced. This makes the poem quite difficult to read. With that being said, the poem is error free and I did really enjoy reading it. Good luck in the contest.

Round 4 Review Sorry it's so late.

I love the honesty and simplicity of this fine poem. You tell such a wonderful story about a place you love and it certainly shows in your words.

The form you chose is standard in my opinion but I feel it works well for this poem. You had a good rhyme scheme going in the first part of this poem but it seemed to fizzle out near the end. I don't think it negatively impacts this piece though.

I didn't find any spelling or grammatical errors in this poem and the punctuation is perfect. Thank you for sharing this piece with us. Good luck in the contest.

Bravo!!! This is a wonderful poem! Even though the poem is about death, you managed to speak about it in a way that isn't ominous. Excellent writing my friend.
