Review! *Angelic*

I am also reviewing your entry as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest" Open in new Window. Thank you for entering our December Holiday Shape-poem contest. *Xmastree*

Initial Thoughts:

I noticed right away of course that the poem was shaped into a Christmas tree. Your title lets the reader know the poem's theme is about childhood memories of Christmas. Ah, yes! Those memories pop up in my mind this time of year as well.

Further Thoughts:

I love the tone, the imagery produced while reading it, the smoothness and brilliant words chosen to weave these lines into a shape so familiar it sparks the joy and anticipation of Christmas. *Ornament1S*

Favorite Parts:

"green fir boughs, fragrant balsam scent" This brings the familiar scent of the evergreen right into the mind where the memory of those unforgettable scents live.


Parting Thoughts:

The rules were followed. Line count, 16. Shape--Christmas Tree.
Poem within, perfect fit to the shape of the tree and its stand. *BoxcheckR*

I found no spots that interrupted the flow of the poem. *GingerBread*


Conclusion:

"joyous childhood memory, I am home once more" Perfect lines to end the poem. This says it all. It brings back glimpses of holiday excitement through the eyes of a child.

Good job!
Good luck with the contest.

Until next time--write on!

Regards,
