-----------------------------------------------
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)

The Life of Kenshiro Senju
THIS STORY IS ON AN INDEFINITE HIATUS Kenshiro Senju, son of Iria Senju and Daikuma Senju Kenshiro Senju, that is now my name. It has not always been... Once I have been named differently, by another mother, in a different world. I had grown up in a different world, have lived a different life and have done things way differently. My story started like so many other isekai self-insert stories. Well, at least I think my death has been a little bit more on the strange side. Truck-san did not take me into the next adventure, it was lye and boiling water. Author of the cover; https://www.pinterest.de/mliannaphilisa/

As an angel of love, Hadraniel "Adrian" Stars doesn't really know how to do his job properly. His parents being the King and Queen of the Angels Association is not helping him at all. In fact, it makes his parents question if he's really the angel of love as he doesn't see its purpose. He doesn't like being pressured, especially since he's the next one to claim the throne of the King. But until then, Adrian remains clueless as to what his really job is. The King has decided to help him: by throwing him on Earth. As he lands on Earth, powerless and not really looking prince-y at all, how could he protect himself, especially when the demons freely roam all over the Earth? Despite his appearance as a mere human and not looking angelic at all, he can't help but attract supernatural creatures, but what if one demon finds him and desires him most? Two things are for sure though; he's not safe and he will the see the reality of his nightmare.#5 - PART OF THE EXTENDED UNIVERSE
8 142Blind As a Bat [1st book complete]
Book 1 He was cast to the edges of his clan. His father could not stand to even look at him. His baby sister probably didn't even know he was her brother... All because he, unlike all other vampire (The correct terminology will be Wanpyrkos; van-peer-coe-s) kind, was born blind. And what do all creatures do to those that are different, those that do not fit society, those that they think should not have been born to this civilized society...? [Book Cover Made by the wonderful THEMIDNIGHTECLIPSE13] - thank you! I'm only introducing the perspective of the main character for the first part. Things change drastically soon after that. [BDSM entries are clearly marked and written so they can be skipped without affecting the story] ***A couple scenes to whet your palate*** 1. "Uh, we heal from pretty much everything and anything. Have you ever tried physically damaging your eyes to see if they would fully heal?" "N-no. No, it doesn't work," I forced out, my voice a little strangled and cracking before hardening. "And stuff like that, isn't that just wrong?! Hurting someone just to 'fix' them." 2. I leaned and he met me, our soft lips touching and moving perfectly on each other's. I felt as his tongue ran the slit of my lips, my tongue coming to graze it as it passed over, knowing doing so was like catnip to him. He leaned closer, and I shivered as his hands ran from low on my hips and grazed along and up my ribs, pulling my chest closer to his so my body arched and rubbed against him. I hummed in appreciation. [warning: so far aggressive or physical bullying and maybe a little kidnappage and sexual themes as well as possible trigger warnings]
