Hi Katelyn,
This is a fantastic poem. The tone is encouraging. It grabs all the reader's attention and makes them want to read on. The poem is about just diving in a trying new things before nerves take over and stop you. This is the way I approach everything. I could let my doubts convince me to not try things, but I just dive in. I loved this poem and read to the last word. The free verse works well in this poem, and you have handled it very well. There is a wonderful rhythm here. The poem flows extremely well. It is a pleasure to read. You have used punctuation and grammar consistently in this poem. There is nothing to distract the reader from their reading pleasure. Great job.
