#530577 by Tammy~Catchin Up~


My Overall impression:
I like the dramatic effect of repeating the first stanza as the last.

I like this part it helps to show how sad she is:
'Or in a group with her friends,
The sadness never goes away...'

Suggestions/Errors:
I know this is in 3rd person but you should really wok on the over usage of she that you have throughout.

Watch your past/present tenses also.

an example:
You will never see her true self when she's like this,
She won't let you...
She believes that if people do,
try
You will never see her true self,
She believes that if people did,

Add some genres, they help your poem get exposure.

I like this font, but it is a little small you may want to increase the size a little...make it easier on you reader's eyes.

The one that's been hapy lately,
happy

My Overall impression:
I like your thoughts on finding yourself and letting go of the past.

I think most have felt like this at some point in their lives and will identify with this.

My favorite part:
'Now it seems I'm neither here nor there
Caught between the present and past'

Suggestions/Errors:
This title is used often, maybe try for a title that will draw your readers in.

suggestions from your poem:
Two Faces
Neither Here Nor There
Finding Home

What's destined to be is yet unclear
I would cut yet in this line.

My Overall impression:
Your rating, title and genres are good.
This is a great tribute to the love you shared.

Suggestions/Errors:
Your first two lines are a little weird together, I'd suggest cutting the 2nd line.

Your poem reads a little choppy.
The below should all help with the flow of your poem.

Watch your repetition of words and thoughts.
ex
stanza 1 you have he 4 times,

I could not sleep, I could not eat
try

I could not sleep or eat

The only man I ever loved
We shared our love
We shared our dreams
try
The only man I ever loved
We shared our dreams

With gentle smile on his face
A little awkward maybe add a after with or change smile to smiles.

My Overall impression:
Your title, rating and genres are good.

Your story is creepy and suspenseful.
You kept my attention throughout.

Suggestions/Errors:
This is not my usual genre to read and I know it's supernatural but I was left with questions.

I think you should add more at the ending about the ghost and him going with her....the transition there is lacking.

My Overall impression:
I like your title and how you use it in your poem.

'I am my own worst enemy,'
Great line and we usually are!

I like this part the best:
'And I don't know why I'm terrified
by the world that I can see,'

Things do tend to repeat and I like how you show this repetition!

Suggestions/Errors:

My favorite part is this reminder that we don't know when it will be too late...
'Tell your friends before you go,
Or you too will have your head low. '

Add some genres to your item, they can help it get exposure.

So thats why we shouldn't be so glum.
that's

Do not weep for known who choose not,
(This is a little confusing.)

I'd work on some of the rhyme choices you have...
not/knot;
ever/over; complete/bleak

Review of In My Hands..  
Rated: E | (4.5)
Overall Impressions:
I like this one!!
Great acrostic.

I think it's great that you try so many different poetry forms!
I tend to stay in a rut and use the same ones or go with free-style!

Your thoughts on memories are good and don't we all have a few memories that we can not let go of!?

Suggestions:
Moving,feeling,forever seeking
Dreary,tiresome,acrid looking
(Space after all your commas.)

In your genres you have other and drama...I'd add two more.
experience, personal

Review of ~Angels Listened`  
Rated: ASR | (4.0)
*Star* Overall Impressions;
I enjoyed your poem.
Great title.
Your rating and genres are good.

I like that you include the prompt that you used to write this and the contest link.

my favorite line:
'The Angels screamed a song of judgement and loss'
(spelling - judgment)

*Star* Suggestions:
I think your poem might benefit with punctuation. Some poems do ok without punctuation but I think you could make this a more dramatic read if you put in some. It will break the read up a little and add some pauses..

As with your other poem, I think you need to check your tenses..you go back and forth from past to present.
I think it would be better to stick in one tense.

Review of Disease Spreads.  
Rated: ASR | (4.0)
OVERALL IMPRESSIONS;
Your title, rating and genres are good.

Your poem is intense and very vivid.
These two lines are really good:
'Is the best possible it believes, smiling happily as it feeds on the body,
chewing on juicy organs, and using tiny bones as mere toothpicks.'

SUGGESTIONS;
Tasting,licking its way through the dying body.
Space after the comma.

shivering in pleasure as the marrow dripped free into it demonic mouth
To stay with the other tenses you need to make dripped drips.
You need to check your tenses throughout...it switches back from past to present tense in a few places.

It spread slowly,violating the very soul of the body it was conquering.
Space after the comma.

Review of ~Changing Eyes  
Rated: E | (4.5)
Overall Impressions:
Great title, it should help to draw your readers in.
Your rating and genres are good.

You show a love that is dying very well.
Denial is easy but you hit it right with the eyes...hard to hide the truth in them!

Suggestions:
You have one period at the very end, I'd remove it or add more punctuation throughout were it is needed.

I have not heard of this poetry form, you might include a brief auithor's note explaining the form.

*Flower2*OVERALL IMPRESSION:
Your rating and title are good.
I think we have all felt like this before.

*Idea*MY OPINIONS/SUGGESTIONS:
Instead of having this as Other in the static item you should put it as poetry.

You go back and forth from what your life felt like before and after this person was in it...but you skip around and the transition from one time to the other is confusing. Watch your tenses.

The repetition in here takes away from what you are expressing.
Some repetition works well, but I think this is too much.

The repetition along with no punctuation really makes this a fast run poem.
It feels like one big sentence that is repeating itself.
Maybe add some punctuation.
You could also break this up into stanzas and that would help a little.
I say lose some of the 'my world' that you have in here.

and my heart was in
a strange new beat
try
putting my heart in
a strange new beat

Safe before the crackling hearth.'

Review of Ragged Doll  
Rated: E | (4.5)
*Reading* Overall Impressions:
Your title fits well and I like how you use this image to express yourself.

What a sad ending.
But I have felt like this before and you capture the hopelessness of it all very well with your words and the image that you leave your readers with.

*Idea* Suggestions:
Add some genres to your poem.

I kept tripping over this read;
Carried to wherever I go to,
I have nothing to do.
maybe cut the second to in line 1..?
