Hello, GypsySpirit Happy 2nd WDC Anniversary! How are you doing today? I'm working on reviewing different genres for "Invalid Item"  and stumbled upon your item, "Soul Wind" . I hope this review finds you well! Thanks for sharing your writing with us.

General Thoughts: I think ethereal was the perfect way to describe this poem, as you did in the description. I chose to read this one because the title stood out to me. "Soul Wind" is an interesting, descriptive take on the spirit of a horse. This is one of those poems that reminds me of a painting because the imagery and general atmosphere of it are so awakening to the senses.

I loved the way you played with alliteration throughout the poem. stirring stardust/floating fragments. There was definitely a dreamlike element to the imagery and it read like a dream that way. I think that's what you were going for when writing this, so I count that as a big success! Even the line breaks added to the ethereal tone.


Suggestions: I didn't notice much that needed correction in this poem. I thought the use of ellipses as the only punctuation worked well in the poem and there weren't any spelling errors to speak of. I do wish that the reflection of the first two lines had been in the last two lines of the poem instead of the fourth and third from last. I just like the direct symmetry there if you're going to reflect back so close to the end anyway.


Conclusion: Overall, I enjoyed reading this poem. It had a specific mood and tone that felt like reading someone's dream. The imagery was great and I enjoyed the poetic devices, like alliteration, used throughout. Thanks again for sharing with us!
