Hi James A. Osteen Jr. .

I'm JACE , and I have the honor of reading and reviewing your offering "The Poet" .

I invite your attention to the comments below. Please bear in mind these notes are from one on the outside looking in; ultimately only you can decide what's right for your story.

  Overall Impression. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your tribute to poets. It followed an a-b-c-b rhyming pattern for every four lines.

I wonder if these are biographical personal thoughts and experiences. It sounds like calling out getting older, and how that impacts one's writing abilities.

As a reader, I found it a little harder to read without being separated into 4-line stanzas. I wondered why not make stanzas?

  Technical and Editorial Considerations. I normally list those areas that relate specifically to the mechanics of your writing here--punctuation, grammar, spelling, etc.

          Because of the personal nature of one's poetry, I seldom make suggestions regarding punctuation.   

My Rating.  4.5. 

Thank you for sharing this offering. Please accept these comments as offered in friendship and support. They are but my humble opinion.



My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
