Hello J.L. O'Dell ,

As a co-participant in "I Write in 2020" , it is my pleasure to review your contest entry.


Overall Impression/Emotional Impact:
As a lover of the sea, I not only read your poem, but I heard it and saw it.


Form, Format, Rhyme and Meter (as applicable):
24 perfect syllables! Well done, Jack!

Grammar, Spelling and Mechanics:
none noted

Closing Comments:
You took the prompt word, atrous, in an interesting direction which gave this reader an ominous feeling. Which is not a bad thing because I drift toward the darkness anyway.




Thank you for sharing your work.
Kindest Regards, Lilli

The comments herein are just my humble opinions. Use whatever is useful; discard the rest. I'm not an editor, proof-reader, or any of the like. When I read and review, I am reading as a 'reader', to be entertained. I look to see how the piece makes me feel and if I can I visualize the story/poem in my head. You know your work better than anyone else! If I make a suggestion or a comment, it is meant in the spirit of 'helping' and I welcome the same when people review my work.
