Hi Dawn,
This is a fantastic poem. The tone is formal. It suits the poem and subject matter very well. The poem is about your fear of spiders. I don't really like spiders and insects very much either. Since we got our cat I don't have to worry about it much, anymore. I loved this poem and read to the last word. The free verse works very 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. I liked the explanation at the end immensely as well. Great job.
