*Shamrock* Title and appearance on the page. Who could resist "A Perfect Smile"? The lines on the page appear to have substance without being intimidated by their length.

*Shamrock* Form Free verse, a poem in 15 lines broken into 3 strophes, 4 lines, 6 lines and 5 lines. No apparent metric or syllabic pattern.

*Shamrock* Texture, rhythm, word choice and sonics The poem reads out loud fluidly. Words "impassioned, enthralling, angelic, refinement" lift this to love song status.

*Shamrock* Suggestions There are a lot of abstracts in this piece. The intended recipient will connect but the random reader might not. This is just my observation but if it were mine, I would attempt to include more concrete imagery and less adjectives. It is your poem, use whatever you find helpful and ignore the rest of my comments.

*Shamrock* What I liked I loved "the chirping of migrating birds", a concrete image the random reader can connect to. I loved the enthusiasm that the narrator exudes in this piece and I really did enjoy reading this poem.
