Hello there, It's Mastiff, and I'll be taking a look at your work today. I have to be honest, I'm not a poet, don't know much about poetry, and the rules are much different than other writing. So take everything I say with a grain of salt, or a winter bag of it, knowing these are just my thoughts. I won't do much as far as technical corrections, unless I see something that really sticks out, because the rules are just so different. Thanks for sharing your writing! Why I chose it: Well, clearly I posted next after you on I Write 2019. As I said, I'm not the greatest poetry reviewer, but I'm getting more comfortable with it, mostly due to the contest. So perhaps I'll do it more often. How it made me feel: Kind of sad, a little. I have two sons that were born to me, and I've since informally adopted four more. But, aside from having a step-daughter who I saw very little, never had a little girl. It might be for the best, I'm protective of my sons, so I can't even think what I'd be like with a daughter. Points I thought you made: What it means for a true father, as opposed to a sperm donor, feels about his daughter. I can only imagine it, but even having sons I believe I have a good understanding. I know how I felt when they were apart from me for two years. Anything Technical: I didn't find any issues, but I didn't think I would. Final Thoughts: I'm always amazed at how many forms of poetry are out there! At this point, I think I could write a poem a day (poorly), and not run out in a year! Thanks again, and happy writing! Mastiff
