Hi Tinker ,

I'm 💙 Carly . I am doing this review as part of WDC 19th Birthday Celebration and it is part of I Writer in 2019.

A WDC 19th B'Day Celebration Review... HAPPY BIRTHDAY WDC

It is important to remember that I am not a professional. I am simply one who wishes to learn and grow in my own poetic voice. To do that, I practice my own creations and review the creations of others so that my knowledge can be furthered. That said, I want you to consider my opinion as merely that... your poem is ultimately your creation. Please feel free to use or disregard my advice as you see fit.



Such a lovely poem to read on a night so much like the one you portray.
you employ alliteration - 'this evening's stillness Remnants of summer wane'


This is a free verse poem.


You employ enjambment to give the poem its flow from one line to the next.


Where do I begin... I love the sensory aspects of this poem. The 'cricket serenade', 'cool fingers of air' 'skim my limbs'. I can see those brilliant constellations and it makes me want to breath in the cool, fresh clean air.
I see the plane and like how you included it by only calling it a 'string of blinking red and blue lights'.
I also love the contrast of 'staring in wonder' at the stars versus 'do they wonder who might be down here watching?'


I see no grammar or spelling concerns.
I believe you have done a good job with your punctuation - though this is a weak area for me.


I like how you let the Poet's Place Discussion help you craft your poem and then you entered a contest. Well done. I wish you luck in the contest. It is a winning entry to me.

Thank you for sharing your poem. I enjoyed reading it. I look forward to reading more of your work. Do keep writing.
