Hi w0lfbane My name is Ken and I'm it is my pleasure to read and comment on your work "Wisp" on behalf of "Earth Day Challengers" . First Impression/Thoughts: It's the little miracles of nature that we find both intriguing and fascinating. Creativity/Impact: Not an overt statement on conservation or the plight of nature, it nonetheless captures a spirit and feeling of awe. Nicely done. Message/Theme: Uhhh, Earth Day? Seriously, you've captured the wonder of nature with this simple tale of how nature nurtures us. Technique/Technical Notes: I offer you the following as food for thought and not as criticism. I encourage you to consider what I offer but always follow your instinct and heart. You are the poet. Title: I thought this was a creative title; certainly is will catch the attention of readers. The "teaser" line (or description ) offers an opportunity to add some clarification and can also be a great tool to attract more readers. Again, very creative and informative. Grammar/Wording: Your language is well measured and reinforces your message. I thought you captured the feeling of wonder well in this and the images are clear. Form/Flow: You wrote this in a joined couplet rhyme with a hanging final line for emphasis. Your meter is problematic but didn't impede the nice rhythmic feel of the poem. Overall Rating/Final Thoughts: An enjoyable, wonder filled read. Your recognition of the magical moments of nature and your appreciation (and patience ) are clear in your words. Thank you for sharing your imagination and talent with me today. Writing is about communication and this is what I saw in your work and is provided solely for your use. It's offered in a spirit of wanting to give you honest feedback... nothing more. Keep writing! Wishing you all the best for Earth Day 2017, Ken
