Review of Six Feet

Review by Caldera

Rated: 18+

| (4.5)

It sounds like you have had to face a challenging time in your life and make some tough decisions. I feel that there was a lot of anguish leading up to this poem. Since it was your first poem since fourth grade I would guess what ever you went through was very difficult, to make you want to write this poem. The words are simple and strong, they represent a thought process, with reason and logic involved. In the end the decision to write this poem may have helped sort out what was causing the grief and anguish. I guess I took it as a poem of hope in a time of despair.

Review of A Husband's Lament

Review by Caldera

Rated: E

This poem reminds me of my Stepfather, who would fully appreciate the sentiment. I can picture the man in the grocery store scratching his head hoping he chooses the right products. This was a great little anecdotal poem, I liked it very much.

Review of The Epitome of Objectivity

Review by Caldera

Rated: ASR

| (5.0)

I found this piece of writing very useful. For many who are new to this site it is good to read a piece like this. If you have not had any experience in writing some critiques may feel personal. Your writing tells that in order to get another perspective you have to listen objectively to the criticism. I have never been to a site like this before, and I am new to the writing world, sort of. I used to write in high school but I have recently found that I want to write other things and I have found a great site to learn on. Again this piece has offered a bit of advice I might not have gotten anywhere else. I find that this essay should be presented to the newbies that join and are unsure of how to take in the critiques. I believe that most critiques are with good intention on helping the writer better his/her craft.

Review of 'Twas the Night Before Solstice

Review by Caldera

Rated: E

| (5.0)

This was a very beautiful poem. The meaning of solstice is one that we don't often hear of. I applaud the use of a noted Christmas poem, since the holiday of Solstice was adapted by the Christians and made into Christmas. The poem really touched my heart and I enjoyed it very much. I have no critiques for grammar or spelling. My only thought is I wished the Kings could have been referred to by name. But the meaning of the poem is what matters and that is what was captured, Great job.
