Hello, MJones Transforming … Again !

This is a "Fox's Socks Newbie Poetry ContestOpen in new Window. judge's review!

*Checkb*Overall Impression:
You've created a simple but impactful poem with a strong spiritual message.

*Checkb*Form, Rhythm, Cadence, and Style:
You've chosen a clean and deliberate structure, and the use a parallelism creates a cadence the moves the poem forward. It gives the reader a feeling of agency in that they can walk along with the virtues in a spiritual journey. Free verse was a good choice for the reflective tone you've established.

*Checkb*Content:
I enjoyed how the concepts of compassion, gratitude, and courage are personified. The idea that these virtues can guide individuals to a higher state of being or harmonious existence is probably one most readers will acknowledge, even if their concept of each virtue varies slightly.

*Checkb*Grammar and Mechanics:
The poem is structurally sound and I found no grammatical errors.

*Checkb*Final Thoughts:
You've done a great job encouraging readers to embrace these virtues as an answer to life's challenges.

Thank you for sharing your work with us!
