This poem is amazing, I seriously almost cried reading it and that never ever happens to me. Favorite Parts
"We walk through funerals, torture, and fear,
She grips my hand tighter as we view each year,
“Goodbye”, she says, with a hug so tight,
“Now I know, we will be all right.”"
I love that stanza! Content
The content of this poem at first glance is fairly common about writing about ones past, but wow did you blow all of my expectations away. I never thought that this piece would be filled with such sadness and redemption all in the same short piece. This is a great read. Flow

The piece is dark and I really liked it. Favorite Parts
I like the repetition of the line that you used I think it really adds to the piece. Content
The content of the poem is good, I see how the puppet is a metaphor for a person being controlled, its a fairly common reference but I think since the entire poem was written from the point of view of the puppet that it avoids cliche. Flow
The flow of the poem was a little off in some places but it didn't totally take away from the poem. I think your awkwardness may have added to the emotion of this poem. Spelling
There were no spelling errors that I saw. Suggestions
The line:
"It Danced! It sang! Now collects dust in the attic, "
I would maybe reword it into:
"It Danced! It Sang! It now collects dust in the attic,"
Thats just my opinion though, so if you love it the way you wrote it then by all means disregard my suggestion. I really did enjoy this write its not often that I get to review a darker piece on the review request page other than in the month of October.

This poem is full of strong emotion and biting words, I really enjoyed this read. Favorite Parts
I love how you just say what you feel but yet you keep it poetic. That makes this piece balance well. Content
Wow the content of this poem is so emotional and in you face and seems to be full of anger but the person also seems strong willed, its really great. Flow
The flow of the poem is smooth for the most part. Spelling
I did not see any mistakes. Suggestions
I think that in the poem "you" and "I" are used quite often and that if you cut down on them that the reader still understands who you are speaking of with out having to say "you" and "I" so much.

The rhythm of this poem flows very well and I really enjoyed it. Spelling

In your first line you use "and" often, I would take out one of them and use a comma.

I love the imagery in this poem and it kept me reading. Favorite Parts
I like your first stanza the most, it draws the reader in. Content
The content of the poem is nice, it is a pretty common theme though. Flow
The flow of the poem was a little off because of the excessive punctuation, I am sure that you will get many different views on punctuation. My view is that while punctuation is some places absolutely necessary for flow can become too much when the entire work is punctuated the same. There were alot of commas which made some lines seem to go on forever. If you would have just used a period instead the flow would have been smoother. An example is in your third stanza there are three comma for the first three lines which makes the thought seem very long. By putting a period after the first line I think that it would have enhanced that stanza. Spelling
I did not see any spelling errors. Suggestions
My only suggestions were above in the flow area of the review, other than that I really think this can be a great piece. If you make any changes please let me know and I will rate you again.

The idea of this piece drew me in, I can relate to being homesick. Favorite Parts
The first stanza is my favorite, I think that it is the strongest of the poem. Content
The content of the poem is really good, I really enjoyed your imagery. Flow
The flow of the poem is what threw me, for such eloquent wording the flow was choppy in places. Spelling
I did not see any errors in spelling. Suggestions
For the flow of the poem I think it is broken because of the punctuation. In the first stanza when you use a comma at the end of the second line also it makes the first stanza seem like one really long sentence. I think that I would put a period there and not capitalize the first letter of the second line.
2nd part
"Valencia may hold vines and glades of
Mind, grape widowed spines. Red and white partitions,
Hemispheres the sun divides."
I would add the comma to the end of the first line and omit the word "mind" the part that come right after mind is really strong and I think stands great as the beginning of the line.

I really liked your first stanza the most, I think that the imagery you use draws in the reader. Content
The content of the poem is good, it wasn't too much. Flow
I though the flow of the poem was pretty smooth until the end. Spelling
I did not see any spelling errors. Suggestions
I have one suggestion for you, at the end of your poem where you write:
"As one stands to leave, from the other the question is posed"
It would enhance the flow of the poem if you separated it into two lines.
"As one stands to leave,
from the other the question is posed."
I think that as one long line it disrupts the flow of the poem.

"Set ablaze
By the crisp sun."
That line is so beautiful, i love the orange blaze of the sun so it made good imagery for me. Content
Ok so you said to take it as I wish. Well, to me this poem is about reincarnation. Leaving behind your past and mistakes and being reborn into purity. Now that might not be what you meant at all, thats just my take on it. Flow
The flow of the poem has nice rhythm. Spelling
Your spelling seemed perfect. Suggestions
I don't usually suggest this but since this is a strong stand alone sort of piece I think that if you remove the punctuation that it would enhance the flow.

" I shall dread the dawn"
that line just reads beautifully. Content
The content is good and I like emotion in the poem. Flow
The flow was mostly smooth. Spelling
I did not see any mistakes with spelling. Suggestions
My only suggestion would be to add some punctuation between thoughts to let your reads know how you intended this piece to be read, it will make the flow smoother.
I liked this poem it is very honest and emotional and I think that alot of people can relate to the feelings that you write about. I only saw one thing that I think is a typo:
"staring into the ones called my won,"
Where you have the word "won" is that supposed to read own?
Other than that this is a good read and I enjoyed it.
You are a real angel, this poem touched me and I really enjoyed the read although it makes me sad. You see my Uncle is dying of pancreatic cancer and he doesn't have much time left with us. I just wanted to tell you that being able to relate to your emotion gave me some peace. Especially your last two lines, they are so sad but so beautiful and inspirational as well.
I like how you took parts of old nursery rhymes that we all know and changed them into a contemporary poem. It was very fun to read I really enjoyed. Sometimes silliness is just what we need. The only part of the poem that didn't flow well for me was:
"Only sheep will come home
Leaving all summer's beauty behind them"
It seemed to stand out from the rest of the poem and disrupted the flow a little.
All in all I say this is a good write that is fun to read.
The flow and wording of this piece are rally smooth and beautiful. I enjoyed reading this, the imagery that you created was excellent. The only line that stuck out for me as far as an interrruption in the flow was: "Sated, soon it passes and I'll seek others, this I know." For some reason it caused a halt in the progression of the piece.
This is truly beautiful! I too have overcome many of these things that you wrote about and this poem really spoke to me. I also think that above all the great emtion that this piece has that even if it wasnt written from personal experiance that the flow is perfect as well and it was all in all a great read.
I like your use of metaphor in this poem, it is short but gets your point across nicely. The only thing that I can say that would be a criticisim is that the flow was a little choppy. I always make sure I read a piece more than one time to get the flow of the poem and everytime this one line: "Yet so many assume I help them find their places" stuck for some reason.
