Hi Jo,

This is a fantastic poem. The tone is aggressive. It grabs all the reader's attention and makes them want to read on. The poem is about how to be at peace with yourself and your place in the world. I have learned, a long time ago, that loving and being comfortable with yourself is the key to being happy and content in the world. I loved this poem and read to the last word. The free verse works well in this poem, and you have handled it very well. There is a wonderful rhythm here. The poem flows extremely well. It is a pleasure to read. You have used punctuation and grammar consistently in this poem. There is nothing to distract the reader from their reading pleasure. Great job.
