Hello Elle - on hiatus : I have the honor of reviewing your writing for "Simply Positive Review Forum " . Please remember I am a writer, who, like yourself, is also reviewed by her peers; therefore, I know what it feels like! I have only my humble opinion to offer; please take what you feel is helpful and disregard the rest. Only YOU know what is right for your writing! TITLE The title absolutely perfect for this poem! Great job! SPELLING, GRAMMAR, & PUNCTUATION Regarding spelling, grammar, and punctuation, I did not find any errors. Perfect! POETRY FORM, RHYME, & RHYTHM This poetry is written in a free style form, and a such, there is no specific rhyme or rhythm form, but the flow of the poem is very smooth. Wonderful! CHOICE OF WORDS/READABILITY Choice of words is excellent, which makes for good readability. When I read the poem out loud, which is the way that I like to read poetry, I did not stumble or falter. Sometimes when I read poetry, it is confusing, but your poem is very clear, and it told a story, which I really like and found utterly delightly. Excellent! FAVORITE PARTS I enjoyed the entire poem, but let me tell you about some of my favorite parts: *stargray* the softest touch of an artist’s brush painting radiant skin and defining cheekbones. - I CHOSE THESE LINES BECAUSE THEY SET THE TONE OF THE POEM, SO SOFT, SO GENTLE, SO LOVELY. VERY NICE INDEED! *stargray* Inky lashes rest as you slumber at peace - I CHOSE THESE LINES BECAUSE THEY GIVE THE READER SUCH A FEELING OF PEACE AND TRANQUILTY, OF RESTFULNESS. VERY WELL DONE! *stargray* A delicate portrait in shadows and light… - I CHOSE THESE LINES BECAUSE THEY ARE SO DESCRIPTIVE. THE IMAGERY HERE IS BEAUTIFUL. EXCELLENT JOB! OVERALL RATING/FINAL THOUGHTS I give this poem and overall rating of for its originality, creativity, and the ability to make me sigh and go, "Ah...." This poem is so peaceful, so tranquil and so serene. I absolutely LOVE it! Your imagery in this poem is spot-on and I can picture everything in my mind perfectly. I can imagine someone sleeping peacefully, whether it be a lovely woman, a handsome man, or a beautiful child - it doesn't matter - because you had the right feeling about NOT writing in WHO it was that was slumbering, but rather left it to the reader's imagination. Now THIS is very well-done. Excellent job with this; it could not have been done any better, my friend. All in all, I would say this is an excellent effort, and I would recommend this to anyone to read. You keep writing and I'll keep reading! Please continue to share with our community. Thank you for allowing me to review your work. I consider it an honor and a privilege! Have a lovely day! My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Go Noticed" .
