-----------------------------------------------
Theme (13/15)
You accomplished getting an emotional response out of me. I was able to feel something as I read your writing. This is extremely important to poetry. I can always see that your telling a story even in the short ones. There are a few I didn't quite fully connect with but overall I saw a lot of good potentials. The darker theme of the poetry connected with me in some ways so I empathized.
Cover (8/10)
I like the cover but reduce the size of the awards you got. The core focus should always be on the cover and not the badges you have won on it. Although the cover draws me in, I get distracted looking at the two big badges. The aesthetic is thrown off slightly by them being there is what I'm trying to get at.
Title (10/10)
I really like the creative title. I haven't heard anything quite like it and when I first saw your application, I was drawn to the name. It's a name that I would look at in a library and pick up to read. I don't see how this can be approved in any way or how it would be missing anything. In poetry, the title isn't necessarily the same as what the words may be about because it could represent something figuratively.
Detail (13/15)
The attention to detail is great and I am imeresed in your world of poetry for some of your readings. Some of the poems as I said I didn't fully connect with or see the appeal but I recognize the effort. Poetry is hard to write and you have to use emotion as the most effective tool.
Originality (9/10)
I see a lot of original ideas but also some show ideas that have already been discussed. You mention a similar subject but for some, you don't create a new idea or way to present them that has different from others who were in your predicament.

Writing Skills (14/15)
I would first like to suggest the use of more figurative language. You want to invoke the senses to better connect with people's emotions and how they feel. Your stanza construction is done well and I can see good diction.
Grammar (10/10)
I didn't see any problem with the grammar overall from everything that I read. Everything looks good to me.
Overall Poetry(14/15)
Overall I liked poetry and it was a pleasant surprise to read. I was interested in reading most of the poems and it was a review I didn't mind doing all that much. it was an interesting read that I would recommend to others.
Overall Score: 91 (A)
Contact me with any questions or concerns.

Late Night at Lund's
Book 1 - Late Night at Lund's is available for sale on Amazon. Book 2: The Lockwood Quest continues the story! A dental hygienist walks into a bar..... Dental hygienist Isa Chamberlin thought the biggest challenge in her life was getting over a messy breakup, but when she pops into a new neighborhood bar, she finds herself in a different world, one filled with wizards, spells, and monsters. Join Isa as she explores unfamiliar surroundings, uncovers new skills, and learns to level. Magic and monsters, allies and enemies, romance and danger, all of it just on the other side of a simple door. "Wear these bracers with pride.” the half-orc slid first one bracer and then the other over Isa’s forearms. “Fight with your heart,” he said as he pulled the laces tight. “And come back with a story to tell. That is what an adventurer does.” ....... **** Thank you for reading, and if you like the story, please rate and review. Isa and I would both like to level up! This story uses the 5th Edition Open Gaming License for game mechanics. I roll dice for combat outcomes and all skill checks.... which is sometimes surprising! One side note - I don't have a "sexual content" tag on - this is more romance than romp. But that might change!

Embrace the Ether
To burn away the old, rebuilding it anew. Countless years ago, a terrible war came for the ancient Primordials, casting down their once believed immovable dominance and securing the rise of a new empire. The Ether was fractured, broken into numerous pieces as peace was hard-fought. Thrown into this new hectic land, Deus must come to wield an unexplained power, one that threatens both his sanity and life simply to use. If he wishes to survive, he must learn not only how to harness this strength but how to grow and expand it, altering the path of those around him. What he doesn't know is that he's found himself involved in a terrifying plot hosted by those demons of old, a game of sorts to decide the fate of Midnight. Does Deus have what it takes to survive, or has he found himself trapped in a plot he has no hope of escaping? Note: This story has a slow-build and takes awhile for the pace to get going. If that isn't your thing, this may not be for you. Heavy emphasis on world-building and character creation and progression. --------------------------------------------------------------- • Release Schedule • Chapters will be released weekly, with some occasional alterations throughout. This may not be a permanent adjustment, but I'll do everything I can to remain active. --------------------------------------------------------------- • Important FAQ • Q: What is the cover art from?A: The current cover art for ETE is called 'Run Boy, Run...' which is a work from Gustavo Arteaga's collection, which can be found here - https://gusart.artstation.com/https://www.instagram.com/sirgusart/ If you're the original artist of the work and would like me to remove your content from my cover art, please send me a private message telling me so. I'm not making any direct profit off this story or the cover, as everything here is a passion project. Also; This story and all its chapters are a work-in-progress, and may be altered at a later date. Don't expect perfection, but I am trying my best. Look at everything posted on this fiction as a first draft.
