Hi Tinker,
I'm reviewing your poem, River Crossing, for I Write in 2018.
I really enjoyed this poem. You captured a very dark and scene with fluency and ease. The blind bats seems a little cliched so perhaps try a more original idea to describe them, but otherwise that whole verse sets the creepy, ominous mood really well. I love the 'single candle's glow swallowed by the void'.
I think the same happens in the second verse - you start with a bit of a cliche with 'dreamless sleep' but the overall verse is really powerful.
In the third verse I love the image of the bridge being camouflaged by mist.
The structure of the poem is great, with the repeated line at the beginning of each verse. I liked how you repeated the structure but changed one word in the second verse - but I'm not sure if it's a typo or not as your notes suggest the whole line should be repeated. I think it makes it more powerful, changing from place to space.
good luck in the contest,
Paddy
