*Star* OVERALL IMPRESSION:
.
Your intro, rating, title and genres are all appropriate.

Each stanza and finishing line shows a touching story that leaves your reader thinking.
Each stanza in it's own way shows what is important in life.

favorite part:
The stanza on the nurse. I am a nurse and see too often where the patient is forgotten; we get caught
up in doing our procedures and paperwork and forget the patient.

Thanks for the read, it definitely left me thinking.

Good luck.

Overall Impression:
Great tribute to your friend.
Sorry for your loss.

Your title, rating and genres are good.

Suggestions:
For I know you’re in a better place and God make no mistake.
try:
For I know you’re in a better place and God makes no mistake.

In line 7, I would put a comma instead of a period to help with the flow.
Line 8 is a little awkward, should use be used?

In stanza 4 you drop the rhymes and shorten the lines, maybe pick up the rhymes and expand on this stanza. Also in this stanza you change tenses and have "but the loving mother you are" instead of was.

Keep writing!

*Star* OVERALL IMPRESSION:
Your rating and title are appropriate.

I enjoyed your poem, just as I enjoy a good rain!

favorite lines;
'The boom hits, shaking my window:
The essence of cracking electricity.'

*Star* MY OPINIONS/SUGGESTIONS:
I would add another genre instead of having other. They help your item get exposure. You could use environment, personal or even experience.

Instead of having 'the title says it all' for your intro, maybe draw your readers in with a brief descriptive intro.

Review of Square One  
In affiliation with The WDC Angel Army  
Rated: E | (4.5)
OVERALL IMPRESSIONS:
Your rating and genres are appropriate.

Great title, when I first read the title and intro - I thought how does that even apply? But you end this well and show yourself back at square-one!

It seems like most relationships(friends, lovers, etc.) tend to be this way. There is usually one person more committed than the other. You show your relationship well.

SUGGESTIONS:
You have a few words that you could remove that would help with the flow of your poem.
Like so in line 13
And in line 7

KEEP WRITING!

*Star* OVERALL IMPRESSION:
Your rating, title and genres are appropriate.

I enjoyed your poem on a friendship turning to love. I think being friends first helps to build a more solid relationship.
favorite lines;
'what my heart was beating.
It said it wanted you and you only'

*Star* MY OPINIONS/SUGGESTIONS:
At times it feels like you are telling (talking) a story, work a little on letting your lines flow as you express your thoughts and feelings.
example;
And after all of that,and more so
stupidly enough I still thought,
we were only friends and that's that and nothing at all.
try
Even after that,I still had doubts
about us being more than friends

Review of Love  
In affiliation with The WDC Angel Army  
Rated: E | (4.0)
OVERALL IMPRESSIONS:
WELCOME to the site.
ENJOY yourself!

Your feelings for your crush comes through well.

favorite part;
'A fragile butterfly, falling off a branch?
Gliding under the moonlight?
'

SUGGESTIONS:
A more creative title.
Suggestions from your poem;
Love's Rushing Wind
Love's Trance

Watch your repetition - you have some repetitive thoughts throughout and watch your overuse of words.
ex;

I see you once again,
Your short greeting,
Your light smile.
This hint of doubt…
This nagging feeling…
This will haunt me forever.
try
I see you once again,
A short greeting a
secretive, light smile.
This hint of doubt…
leaving a nagging feeling…
This will haunt me forever.

Just some small changes to cut the repetition and help with the overflow of the poem. You could easily add a few more descriptive words to express yourself.

KEEP WRITING!

*Star* OVERALL IMPRESSION:
Your rating, title and genres are appropriate.

Your poem asks some good questions. Questions that most of us have asked at some time in our lives.

favorite part;
'But instead all I can do, is try'

*Star* MY OPINIONS/SUGGESTIONS:
Just a few small things;
I would capitalize for in the first line of stanza one.

I would capitalize God in line eleven.

I'd utilize some periods and end some of these thoughts.

I'm not familiar with this culture but I wasn't left with any questions after reading this.
I agree we all have our own beliefs and we are the one who will have to answer.

Errors/Suggestions*Idea*
I think you just need to proofread and edit this in some areas.

example:
she wouldn't on leave home on such a day with that undone."
I think the first on needs to be cut here.

but the some niggling self-doubt made me try.
I think you need to cut the in this sentence.

Also, ever since the time I was got called for a mass casualty
I would cut got in this sentence.

Your image is very fitting for your poem.

Great ending that shows the day beginning.

favorite parts;
Petals, once spread, to capture the sun
now enfold each other. Their work is done.
AND
the blossom now sleeps, or so it seems,
yet deep in its heart it holds onto its dreams.
I love the thought of flowers holding their dreams.

Great image! The color of the eyes really helps to enhance the legend of Uriah.

This is not a genre that I usually would read but I really enjoyed your story. You kept my attention to the very end.

I stumbled over the 2 by s in this line.

*Star* OVERALL IMPRESSION:
Your title, genres and rating are appropriate.

Very sad/bittersweet read.
I have seen this often though as a nurse who has worked in Long Term Care facilities.
I often wonder what would be worse to lose your mentality but still be independent in your cares or to lose your ability to cae for yourself but keep your mentaity.....
It would almost be 'kind' if you lost your independence you would lose your mental abilities too.
But I have seen both men and women who care for their spouse/ family when that person has no idea who they are-it takes a lot of deication and love.
