I'm good at...

I'm good at evaluating the writer's creative statement or message. If there is no statement, the piece seems disconnected and it's difficult to see the purpose. Many readers would question whether there is a purpose at all. I'm good spotting language usage and grammar, punctuation and spelling problems. If corrections are needed, I'll point them out to you under suggestions.

Rated: E

| (4.0)

Hi Fyn! I am GerMac, affiliated with Power Reviewers Group. I am here today to review one of your poems, Please use my suggestions as you see fit.

-- OVERALL IMPRESSION:
This poem is about the trophy of the season.

--THEME/CREATIVITY:-
In the early morning quiet, still lake and an aged fishing pole with the sheer softness of the sky, a casting takes place. Pen and paper are needed to record trophy. Most memorable to me is the following: "the island, still shadowed by the mountain looms greyblue, pines aspiring toward the lightening sky - just tall tips illuminated."

-- TECHNIQUE/LANGUAGE USAGE/PUNCTUATION/SUGGESTIONS:
I was not distracted by errors in usage, grammar or punctuation. Nice imagery.

Thank you for sharing.

GerMac

Review of Wise Man

Rated: E

| (4.0)

Hi Jellybean! I am GerMac, affiliated with Power Reviewers Group. I am here today to review one of your poems, Please use my suggestions as you see fit.

-- OVERALL IMPRESSION:
This poem is about the wisdom that older people have and younger people stride to get.

--THEME/CREATIVITY:-
Some struggle and scheme to make things perfect, like a fairy tale. Their dreams don't come true, but they don't completely fail either. The young don't find power, and they wonder how they can find courage, kindness, faith and trust. They don't find these virtues, but things aren't perfect and neither is life. A wise man sees the need and knows the young will find what they need when they mature. That need is love. Most memorable to me is the following: The young dream of valor and fame. Older knows what it is.

-- TECHNIQUE/LANGUAGE USAGE/PUNCTUATION/SUGGESTIONS:
I was not distracted by errors in usage, grammar or punctuation. Nice job with imagery. Suggestions:
Stanza 2: see should seem
Stanza 7: it's should be its.

Thank you for sharing.

GerMac

Hi Jay! I am GerMac, affiliated with Power Reviewers Group. I am here today to review one of your pieces, Please use my suggestions as you see fit.

-- OVERALL IMPRESSION:
This piece describes your love of tea time and your desire to travel in the British Isles.

--THEME/CREATIVITY:-{/b
The word "sweltering" is understood in the summer heat of the South. That's when iced sweet tea is served. Most memorable to me is the following: Earl Grey tea is recently getting competition from Twinings orange and cinnamon spice Christmas tea. You might be interested to travel to Britain for a trip to Twinings on the Strand for tea time, among other places.

-- TECHNIQUE/LANGUAGE USAGE/PUNCTUATION/SUGGESTIONS:
For the most part I was not distracted by errors in usage, grammar or punctuation. Suggestions: Use quotation marks around the word "sweltering". Use disembark from the plane NOT disembark the plane.

Thank you for sharing.

Regards,
GerMac

Hi Rob! I am GerMac, affiliated with Power Reviewers Group. I am here today to review one of your poems, Please use my suggestions as you see fit.

-- OVERALL IMPRESSION:
This poem describes your one true desire is to learn the truth of who you are.

--THEME/CREATIVITY:-
You say you are searching, for what you do not know. Most memorable to me is the following: "I pray I find my one true self." A shimmer of light gives hope, but you feel you will soon meet your maker.

-- TECHNIQUE/LANGUAGE USAGE/PUNCTUATION/SUGGESTIONS:
I was not distracted by errors in usage, grammar or punctuation. Rhyme is sprinkled through your poem. Rhythm creates a smooth flow of words.

Thank you for sharing.

Regards,
GerMac
