1.Flow of Piece/Readability Nice flow....nice rhythm and rhyme...
2.Grammar appropriate
3.Punctuation I would recommend commas after the lines:3,5,9,11,14,and 15. I'd put a period after line 6. In line 14, you need a comma after "sad"
4.Spelling In line 6, you have "your" when it should be "you're"....You need to capitalize you "i" in "I'd" in line 14.
5.Overall Impression This is a very nice piece. I can feel your emotions. With a little work it could be perfect. I'd be happy to up the rating to a five if you correct the spelling and capitalization errors. The punctuation changes are up to you....
God bless you and KEEP writing! jacky

What an outstanding piece! The ending made it all the more powerful. God bless you! May you always be bathed in God's love!May you grow stronger in the Lord each day, and may you be bathed in the colors of the rainbow!
I enjoyed this piece...very imaginative...very creative. I love to read and (try to) write different forms of poetry. You wrote in this creative style, while incorporating a message, and without sacrificing flow. Nice rhyming scheme. Great job!
Keep up the good work and keep writing....
THanks....jacky
This is an awesome piece...well except for that "weird alien thing" comment. I took offense to that, --
My favorite lines: A symbiotic relationship long ago developed between Sentries and humans and their souls. Souls were the multidimensional aspects of all beings, and human souls were as close to the Source as any being the Sentries had ever encountered. They gravitated to them as a result.
I believe that is true...I get chills every time I read those lines...
Since this is going to public review, I won't reveal the surprise....but it is truly wonderful....and wonderfully written.....
Thanks for the experience....
God bless you and KEEP writing! jacky

Initial Thoughts This is a powerful piece...a story of suicide.
Now For The Review
1.Flow of Piece/Readability You are a skillful writer. I could feel the emotion. You vividly display the painful imagery.
I think it would help the flow even more if you would put a space between paragraphs when it is written in this block style.
2.Grammar Appropriate...
3.Punctuation There were a few occations when I think a period would have worked better than a comma: There is no wind, the only motion is the girl, her body shuddering with silent sobbing. Before this sentence, you have several long, comma separated clauses. I feel, that it would be more dramatic if written: There is no wind. The only motion is the girl, her body shuddering with silent sobbing.
4.Spelling
I noticed no problems..

Initial Thoughts Well, right off, I learned something: Note: In Hebrew, the name Bethlehem literally means "House of Bread" I didn't know that. Thanks!
Wow, what a beautiful and powerful piece! This poem describes Bethlehem's loss when Herod ordered her children to be slain.

no problems noted....
3.Punctuation My pet-peeve is punctuation. There are so many nice poems that could be perfect if only the reader knew what the writer had in mind when they wrote it. Your punctuation is perfect...I can clearly hear your voice....
4.Spelling
no problems noted
5.Overall Impression
I love this...The chills and hair standing on end continue as I ponder the words. My favorite line: Who told the gentile Magi,
hurrying east, what they had done
by mouthing their dilemma,
whose final solution
none but Herod knew?
This is a question I had never pondered. I'm impressed. Thanks for the experience! Keep up the good work....I wish I could give this one higher than a "5".....jacky
God bless you and KEEP writing!
