My impressions of the poem: "The Rising Tide" by Emberly Gray
Form, Format, Rhyme and Meter:A deep and emotional poem describing anxiety from normal everyday routines.
‘To find a shore, a place to land,
Away from the drift of the shifting sand.’
A well written realistic poem that most everyone should relate to.
We are creatures of habit and many of us let everyday routines that were once fun start to stress us out and take all the fun away. The majority of the time most of those pressures we have put on ourselves. Often it is good for us to get away, take a break and get some rest. This helps to clear the mind then come back with a whole new Focus.
Grammar, Spelling and Mechanics:No problems that I can see.
Emberly Gray thank you for sharing your poem.

Form, Format, Rhyme and Meter:A well written poem that says a lot in six four line stanza’s, focusing on the mythical time of the Pandemic.
“This mythical time will live in history books.”
Well written with a nice rhyming scheme that adds to the overall realistic flow of this poem.
The emotions scream at the reader from this poem, especially those who remember so well that mythical year when time stood still. Though just a short while ago today you don't hear many people talking about those times as they have tried to forget them.
This Modern World Racing to keep up with technology so quickly that they let their guard down for a virus. Or was it all just a conspiracy to prepare us for what has been unleashed. Today’s modern new technical age of inflation, AI, and Amazon that we find ourselves in.
Indeed that was a terrible time conspiracy or not. No doubt it is carved in my memory as well as one for the history books. It would be Interesting to see what history says or reveals about the year 2020.
This strong poem has certainly taken me back in time. I am glad you dated it, well done.
Artistic Voice and Imagery: I see the image of a historical time when all the world was quiet, as if time stood still. The little pace of traffic on the roads is practically invisible. Same with the skies, clear without jet lines of smog painting across them. The few people out wear colorful fashionable masks while keeping a distance from one another. Technical entertainment was in a repeat mode, nothing new.
The government paid people to stay home. Curfews were made, the few businesses open would close at dark. Goodbye ancient world hello modern age.
Grammar, Spelling and Mechanics:Well done!

Ask yourself a question and if you rock forward it's true, if you rock backwards it's false. A nice touch with the ‘humor me’ challenge for the reader to give this mystic doctrine or meditation a try. I admit I've never heard of this before, however I'm going to accept your challenge and give it a try.
130 Personalities you say, it seems feasible I wonder if I've got more than one.
There are many philosophies that say that our current life is only one test in the grand scheme of things, only one part in the big play.
