This was an interesting story. I like the ending, where you left it up to the reader to decide if she survived or not. Very good story, easy to follow and great descriptions. I had no trouble picturing any of the scenes. The story flowed in a logical and interesting manner and it was
Thanks for allowing me to read your work. Keep up the good work.
Great job with this story. I liked how you did the initals. PU. That is just too original. I can see why your piece was tied at first place with mine. You have a knack for good story telling. I could easily picture the scenes and I loved Gramma. Nice work.

Corrections
I expressed my pleasure with the meal and said it was prepared to perfection I believe this would be missing a word. I have placed it in blue for you to see.
I missed that moment of excitement to visit Arizona (my heart home),periodEveneven if we’d gone as companions and split the cost of everythingperiod I still wanted to share the experience with someone I really cared about. This seems awfully long to be one sentence. I think it would be beneficial to add a period where I have marked, and then let it become a paragraph.
Hi, I'm happy mommy and I'm doing this review in return for the one you've done for me. Please remember any comments or suggestions are merely my opinion and in no way reflect you as a writer, but myself as an editor.
This is a great story. If only things were this simple, the world would be such a better place. I'd love to see things like this really happen but I'm aware that it never will. As long as greed and selfishness abound, bad things will keep happening. Thanks for sharing this hopeful piece. I had no trouble visualizing each scene or sympathizing with the character. The words flowed well and you tied up the loose ends nicely. There were no grammatical errors, typos, misspellings, overly repeated information or repetitions of words. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day and keep up the good work.
This is so sad. I could not imagine going through something like this. For you to be able to share it with perfect strangers must be odd but I'm glad you do. It reminds me to be grateful for the time I have with my parents and to be more understanding of people with issues they don't like to talk about. This was a moving emotional piece that flowed well and had a great rhyme. There were no grammatical errors, typos, misspellings, overly repeated information or repetitions of words.
This is another great poem. I like how you incorporate your personal experiences into your writing. You show that you feel bad for what happened but you're trying to realize it's not your fault. You couldn't know what would happen and you shouldn't be to blame. You have a right to be angry, sad, lost, confused and who knows what else. There were no grammatical errors, typos, misspellings, overly repeated information or repetitions of words. Each line flowed perfectly and workked great.
This is a great piece, showing how you gave up and lost faith. You thought it was over, yet you ended up as something different. The descriptions, thoughts, emotions and rhyming are all great. I have no issues with any of the lines. Each one flows smoothly and there are no grammatical errors, typos, misspellings, overly repeated information or repetitions of words. Keep up the good work.
Hi, I'm happy mommy and I'm doing this review as part of The Talent Pond. This is such a sad emotional piece. I feel so bad for what you have went through. I could not imagine being able to go on after something like this. I hope you find that writing is theraputic to your sorrows and one day you can forgive the actions your father has taken. This piece easily conveys the difficulties you went through and both sides of the situation. You did what you thought was best, as would any of us. Thank you for sharing this amazing piece.
Interesting poem. You didn't use any sort of rhyming pattern but it didn't weaken the writing any. I like the passages you used to show us how lost you are without your lover. I could feel the character's desperation, loneliness, sadness and regret for leaving. Well done. There were no grammatical errors, typos, misspellings, overly repeated information or repetitions of words. I feel that you selected your words with care to make the poem flow correctly. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing. Have a great day.
This is a great poem, that flows well and have a consistent story line to it. The rhyming is beliveable although you did use an odd form of pattern. In stanza one, you used AABB, in stanza two, you used ABCB and in stanza three, you used AABBCC. I don't know if this might just be a form I'm not familiar with or if you weren't trying to stick to a particular form. Usually when a person writes poetry, they remain consistent with their rhyming pattern throughout the entire poem. I enjoyed the emotions, the thoughts, regret, and word choices you used. Well done. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing. Have a great day.

SUGGESTIONS: Write more! lol. I have no suggestions for changes or improvements. I would like to see you do more with this great story idea though.
RATING: I rate this for story/poem structure and entertainment combined. I feel it's better to rate for a combination of these two components rather than just entertainment alone, so that the writer can see how their item affected the reader as a whole, at that moment.

FIRST IMPRESSION: Great work with using only dialogue. I easily followed along with the story.
THOUGHTS: How painful for both of them to go through with that. I don't know who to sympathize with. The man who's been cheated on but still wants to be with his wife, or the woman who doesn't feel good enough and wants out of a relationship she's not happy in, thus hurting the man she once loved.

Title
What is the relationship of the title to the poem? Is it connected in meaning in some way? Does it provide the setting or context for the poem? If there is no title, what might be a good title and why? Or what might be a better title and why? The title and introduction to your poem work very well. It gives the reader a great idea of what your poem will be about.
Persona
Who is the speaker of the poem? To whom is s/he speaking? What is his/her message? The speaker is the writer. She's speaking to an unknown aged person. Her message is that the lines you get from aging aren't necessarily a bad thing.

If words are not effective, how are they not effective and what are some alternative choices the poet could consider that would strengthen the meaning of the poem?

Imagery
How effective are the images in the poem? What senses does the poet appeal to? Do any of the images evoke emotional responses in the reader? If so, what is the effect? The imagery used is great. I can clearly picture a person, ranging from young grandchildren to older, happily married couple, doing the actions you describe.
Rhythm
How effective is the meter or syllable pattern if used? Is it done to reinforce meaning? Is it regulated well or is it awkwardly forced? What improvements can be made? I think the rhythm of the poem is perfect. This is a new format for me but it's very effective with the context.
Rhyme Scheme
If a rhyme scheme is used, is it regular? Does the poet employ slant rhymes or approximate rhymes? Does the rhyme enhance the meaning of the poem or detract from it? Why? Great rhyming scheme. No issues here.
There were no grammatical errors, typos, misspellings, overly repeated information or repetitions of words. Well done. There's nothing I'd suggest changing or improving. Keep up the good work and thanks for letting me invade your port. I hope you have enjoyed getting this port raid as much as I have enjoyed giving it. Have a great weekend.

Wounded and battered, proud wield they frayed tassels;
Withered hands flail as they fight, though but dreaming. I feel these are the strongest lines to me. The entire poem is great but these two lines really made an impact on me.

Structure

There were no grammatical errors, typos, misspellings, overly repeated information or repetitions of words.

This is a very short poem, and I've read most of the ones in your portfolio that are this short but I didn't feel right using those as your packages so I didn't comment on them. However, this one really caught my eye and I felt I needed to express my delight and enjoyment at having read it. You do a great job in such a short amount of time of giving a lot of details. We are aware of the subject, personal appearance, time of day, action, and thoughts. I had no trouble visualizing this scene perfectly. Great work. There are no grammatical errors, typos, misspellings, overly repeated information or repetitions of words. There's nothing I'd suggest changing or improving. Well done.

Theme
How important is the theme? Does it illustrate a universal truth? What idea is the poet sharing with the reader? The theme is that of Wiccan beliefs, something not everyone is familiar with.

Hi, I'm happy mommy and I found this review at the bottom of a newsletter. The title caught my attention and I just had to read. This was a great story. I loved seeing how intelligent your grandson is. I have also been a single mom before I met my current husband, so I know what it's like to struggle. And the biological father doesn't help out either. He expects to see the kids but not provide money for them. Maybe we should let a child like your grandson run the country for a while. Maybe then, we'd get a few things done right. I'm impressed to hear the way your daughter has raised her son. You must have done a fabulous job of raising her first. Thanks for sharing this sweet, eye opening and touching piece with me. There were no grammatical errors, typos, misspellings, overly repeated information or repetitions of words. Well done. Keep up the good work and have a great day.

You pinpointed the way both genders think and the real meanings behind their words. Well done.

Hi, I'm happy mommy and I found this piece at the bottom of a newsletter. This was a very amusing poem and very informative. I found your inclusion of the formats much more helpful than most articles I've read about poetry forms. Thank you for adding those explanations. I like how you use a variety of poem types to show a woman's bad luck in relationships. Her sister sure is a taunting heifer isn't she? Your title and introduction fit very well into the subject of your story. My favorite one is Acrostic between a Donkey and a Snake. Very cute. Thank you for sharing. I needed this great laugh. There are no grammatical errors, typos, misspellings, overly repeated information or repetitions of words. Well done. There's nothing I'd suggest changing or improving.
