Hello, ~Sue~

What I liked

Well, I think both you and I know that Poetry is not my Cup of Cocoa, so obviously I've warmed to your theme… and that's just from reading the title.

I love your Iambic tetrameter couplets because the rhyme and meter (note the American spelling, lol, I cannae help it!) are so beautifully written and the whole thing sounds great read aloud… oh yes I did!

And the content… well, that theme applies equally well to all writers, whether they write prose or poetry, fact or fiction. Of course we pour "My loves, my hopes, my hates, my rage" into our writing, and you express it so well in this short piece. (Actually, I've already written more words about your poem than you have in your poem!

What might need work

One little slip, but I'm not certain that it wasn't deliberate in order to make some form of point or for emphasis.

I'll just write the line out here:

This is what poetry means to me. -> . _ . / . _ . / . _ . -> notice any subtle variations from the meter in all your other lines.

At first I thought the shift was deliberate, to emphasise the conclusion and the words of this line, but then I'd expect the following line to follow the same to complete the couplet. But, I'll point it out and then see what you have to say for yourself, young lady!

Thank you for sharing!

Best wishes,

Bob :D
