Title: 3/5

“Elysian” is a euphoric term, yet the book is full of all ranges of emotion. It didn’t seem to fit the overall theme.

Cover: 5/5

The cover is beautiful and artistic. The author mentions their poetry being almost like a painting so it’s a great representation of what we’ll get as we read.

Poetic Technique: 6/10

I dinged this a bit because poetry has formats. When you’re trying to rhyme 2 sentences, it’s called Sonnet and that format has a minimum of 14 sentences.

Rhythm/Flow: 10/10

Each poem had a great balance and summarization. You went from an introduction to an ending concept at the right pace.

Grammar: 9/10

The only major mistake I saw was a dialogue not being separated. Everything else was very minor.

Writing style/creativity: 14/15

The writing was consistent in attempting to use a sonnet, but when you limit yourself to that style you have to cut content in your mind. Most read really well, and some you could tell were forced in areas.

Emotions/depth: 15/15

I thought the rest were beautiful. The author goes in and out of different emotional themes and with words that fit.

Engagement: 10/10

I enjoyed reading the entire book. Each poem was emotional and that was great because I could feel them.

Review: The author did a great job at sticking to a specific type of poetry even if it wasn’t formatted right. In the end, that’s honestly the only thing that held me back. This author is excellent at emotive poetry. I’m in their perspective when I read it, it’s beautiful

Title: 5/5

Very good title, in love with it.

Cover: 4/5

The cover matches the title so awesome.

Poetic technique: 10/10

Wow, just wow. You used very good english, I really love the poetries.

Rhythm/Flow: 9/10

Very good flow, like I was so amazed to read your poems. Love them.

Grammar: 10/10

The grammar is just amazing. You used words correctly, the sentencing is amazing and paragraphing is very good too.

Writing Style/Creativity: 15/15

Okay so I don't even have words to describe such amazing poetry. Your creativity is beyond my thinking.

Emotions/Depth: 15/15

Amazing, just amazing. I really loved the first and second poetry. That got me hooked on reading even more of your work. The emotions shown are just immaculate. I don't even have

words about how much I love your poetry. The meaning behind them is just very deep and sentimental.

Engagement: 10/10

Amazing poems. I loved every single poem you wrote. I have no suggestions for you as your own creativity is very good. Every poetry was well put and I was so hooked on

that I didn't realise I was in real life. I hope you're an amazing poet one day.

Title: 5/5

I thought this was creative. It means harsh sounds, so that can be interpreted however the reader is feeling at the moment.

Cover: 5/5

It’s an emotional cover. A part of a person’s body missing which translates to what poetry does, invokes and emotes, thus giving a part of yourself to others.

Poetic Technique: 10/10

This is freestyle at its best. In that form of poetry, the author basically writes whatever the heck they want because it’s meant to be heard. It’s evocative poetry.

Rhythm/Flow: 10/10

Due to the style, it doesn’t have to rhyme. And, with free flow, you can build the format however you want.

Grammar: 10/10

This book is well-edited for poetry grammar formatting. The author took care to make their poems visually accurate, as well.

Writing style/creativity: 15/15

Creativity is relative when it comes to this type of poetry style. You can literally write anything, whether it makes sense to another or not. That being said, the author is narrating and does it have a beginning, build-up, and then summary.

Emotions/depth: 15/15

This author writes their emotional poems when they feel something. They aren’t randomly based, each has a complex emotion they allow to breathe and use words that describe them with meaning.

Engagement: 10/10

The author had me interested for the most part. There were maybe 3? That I didn’t feel anything as I read them, however, I think that had more to do with the author not attempting to write something to invoke. Rather, just throwing something off in there they felt they wanted to. Which again, we were warned about.

Total:80/80

Review: I liked this author. They wrote like a lot don’t realize they can in poetry. Most pick a style and do not comprehend the parameters, this one found their voice in freestyle but still knew how to format it. Doing that allowed them to be expressive and just talk. It’s almost a type of anarchy against the parameters of what people think poetry should be. I liked that each poem had a theme based on deep thought or emotion.

As for the rest of the participants, you all did great. A big round of applause for each one of you. Thank you for participating!

Title: 3/5

The title was a bit basic but it did hook me on reading your book.

Cover: 3/5

Again your cover was a bit basic but if you want you could do something different.

Poetic technique: 8/10

Your poetries were a bit small but that's what made them unique. Even short, I understood everything very well.

Rhythm/Flow: 8/10

The rhythm and flow was good and could be a little better.

Grammar: 8.5/10

Grammar was fine, the words you used were correct but there was some spacing between words that could be used.

Writing Style/Creativity: 13/15

Your creativity was good, you took some real life situations. I liked poetry 4 as a lot of people can relate to it.

Emotions/Depth: 14/15

I could feel emotions. It was very good, I feel like your poetry is better in a more emotional way. Good job.

Engagement: 8/10

I read the first poetry and I thought that your poetries are very well written. You used good grammar and words that got me hooked.

Total: 65.5/80

Every poem was very nice, some changes could be made to the grammar, some to usage of punctuation but overall the depth of your poetries was good.

Title: 3/5

A bit basic title, some other better word could be used.

Cover: 4/5

Loved the cover, matches with the title perfectly.

Poetic technique: 8/10

Good technique used, your words rhyme which made me read more.

Rhythm/Flow: 8/10

Good rhythm used, the poetries held a lot of emotions.

Grammar: 9/10

Grammar was good, I found no mistakes.

Writing Style/Creativity: 13/15

Some of the poetries were a bit childish, but don't get me wrong they were fun to read though. I liked some of the dark ones, especially the first.

Emotions/Depth: 13/15

Very good and deep emotions were shown. If the poetry held hatred for someone, you showed it very well. If love, that too. That's what I liked a lot about, you stayed on track while writing.

Engagement: 9/10

The title could be different but to be honest I liked the depth of your poetries. The emotions were shown very well and the more the poetries I read, the more intrigued and interested I was. Keep up the great work.

Title: 4/5

Loved the title as it matches with the meaning of your poetries.

Cover: 1/5

The cover has no name and no author name too. It would be better if you write the poetry name as it attracts people.

Poetic technique: 8/10

Really liked the poetries. The way you wrote but a little bit more better sentences and words could be used.

Rhythm/Flow: 8/10

Not much to say here but you really know how to write well.

Grammar: 7/10

There were some spelling mistakes which can be checked and some sentencing errors too. Otherwise everything was good to go.

Writing Style/Creativity: 13/15

The creativity is good because it really matches with today's reality and what people go through. Your writing style is great too but as I said some sentencing guidelines can be used for help.

Emotions/Depth: 14/15

Okay so your emotions in the poetries were the best. I loved it. The way you described situations was very good. I liked the first one best as I can relate to it very well. Loving the emotions you used to attract me to read even more.

Engagement: 9/10

Overall your poetry is very good. But the cover can be changed as it will attract more readers. I loved the emotions and the real life situations that were shown, I am wondering why aren't you a known writer yet? Otherwise I loved your poetries. Keep it up.

Title: 4/5

The title is very ironic and I love it.

Cover: 4/5

Loved the cover, it matches with the title well.

Poetic technique: 7/10

I liked how the poems were written in a good poetic style. But better words for words can be used, some of the words are a bit childish.

Rhythm/Flow: 8/10

The flow and rhythm were good. I like how you explained everything in a single sentence.

Grammar: 7/10

A bit of better grammar can be used, a little help from the internet would be great. Some sentences don't match together which can be changed a little.

Writing Style/Creativity: 12/15

Your poems reflect a lot about real life situations and that's what I liked. You wrote everything very well which got me hooked on to read more.

Emotions/Depth: 13/15

The emotions shown were very well and so I don't have a lot to say about this.

Engagement: 8/10

Every poetry held a very descriptive and deep meaning which is very nice.

Your poems are very well written and I really love it. Explanations were not very necessary as the reader should think about the poems themselves but some people don't understand sometimes which is a nice thing you did. Anyways keep it up and write more!

Title: 5/5

It lets you know we’re going to read someone’s thoughts. I liked how it described they’d be different with just one word, “entangled”.

Cover: 5/5

It’s almost like a basic book cover, but for poetry, it fits the idea of someone’s mind. Not a character’s.

Poetic Technique: 6/10

This one unfortunately didn’t really meet any poetry techniques. They almost read as chapters and that’s ok, but it’s not poetry.

Rhythm/Flow: 10/10

Each poem has the right technique with the flow. It starts off with an expression and then fills in the blanks. There’s nothing choppy about them.

Grammar: 7/10

There are a lot of punctuation misuses and sentence breaks that could have been used more effectively. When a major emotional change happens, separating it out makes it stick better in the reader’s minds.

Writing style/creativity: 10/15

Again I genuinely don’t read this as poetry. It reads almost like short stories.

Emotions/depth: 10/15

I didn’t feel this fell under poetry for another reason, as well. The author is writing blurbs above each. In doing that, I was prepped for something that should have been emotional and up for my own interpretation through their writing.

Engagement: 5/10

This goes back to my poetry point. I didn’t feel like that’s what I was reading.

Total: 58/80

Review: This one, I actually think is full of a lot of good book ideas. And, the way the author chose to give them almost a blurb-like description before going into the information honestly makes me think they can write a book about each topic. Not sure if they’d have the patience for it, but they’d make for great ones.

Title: 5/5

Loved it. It’s basic, but if you’re going to write poetry and explain yourself, I prefer it in the title.

Cover: 4/5

There wasn’t a lot of creativity to the graphic.

Poetic Technique: 10/10

The author kept their technique solid while making sure it visually came off correctly by creating new paragraphs to emphasize certain points. It helped it keep its flow.

Rhythm/Flow: 10/10

The flow of each was flawless. It started out with a standard thought, built upon it, and summarized it.

Grammar: 9/10

Several sections had punctuation misuse, but it was really minor.

Writing style/creativity: 13/15

I took 2 points off because the style although upbeat, was repetitive verbiage throughout the book. The author didn’t take the time to compose each with language that had more meaning.

Emotions/depth: 10/15

This book’s emotional range felt limited.

Engagement: 5/10

Although the author stuck to the same theme, and upbeat concepts, poetry is supposed to have depth. I felt like the author didn’t expand into a deeper part of themselves.

Total: 66/80

Review: This book had a great idea for positivity even after we fall at times, but in poetry there’s usually different emotional ranges. Sticking with just one took away from the depth I was looking for as I continued to read.

Title: 5/5

It’s a good indication of what we got. The imbalance of both logic and emotion.

Cover: 3/5

The graphic was beautiful. However, there was no listing of a title or author. It’s blank.

Poetic Technique: 7/10

I dinged it for it trying to be Haikus but failing on size. Haikus are small, some of these meet the standards, and some are too long. But, they do the juxtaposition spot on.

Rhythm/Flow: 10/10

It’s perfect for the style it’s being written in.

Grammar: 10/10

It was flawless.

Writing style/creativity: 14/15

The author used several, and their second style was spot on. Freestyle poetry has a wide birth in the format.

Emotions/depth: 11/15

I couldn’t relate to it, but that’s simply because heavier words could have been used. Simple language works great with chapters, but when you get into poetry you really want to use evoking words.

Engagement: 8/10

I don’t think all poetry should follow the same format as it progresses, but when you get used to reading a single style, like this book starts out with a lot of Haikus and then jump into another style, freestyle, it got a little muddled.

Review: I loved the emotional range of this author. I loved the Haikus regardless of the errors. Each poem had an idea to it and the author was able to translate it. My only hangup was it didn’t translate enough. The poetry was meant to be emotional, and I was able to understand that part, it just needs heavier language.
