Review by Josephine Lark
Rated: E | (4.5)
This was fascinating! I really enjoyed reading this. You include a lot of legends and stories, some funny and some more serious, and the variety is great. I think the transitions from story to story could be better; as of right now you just jump from one to the other. If there were more solid ways to connect some of them, I think that would help. Also, when you go through your first kisses (adding that personal element to this article was a great idea), I don't think "aged 13" etc. is the right way of putting it; "age 13" to me seems a little less clunky. Again, not sure if there is a proper way to say it, but that's just my opinion. Overall, this was great. Thanks for the history lesson!

Best regards and best of luck,

Review of Coloring Lesson  
Review by Josephine Lark
Rated: E | (4.5)
This was a very provocative and interesting poem. I like the way you personify todays and tomorrows, because it really makes each day sound like something as valuable as a human. Your metaphors with the circle are also great! I like your stream of consciousness style. Overall, this is an excellent poem!

Best regards and best of luck,

Review of My Mourning  
Review by Josephine Lark
Rated: E | (4.0)
The repetition of the last two lines of each stanza is great; it really drives the point home. I also like the play on words of morning/mourning, as it shows how sadness and emotion can be renewed each day. The only line that seemed awkward was "Sacrificing any cost". I understand what you're trying to say, that the speaker would sacrifice anything to be reunited with their love, but I would try to rework that line-- sacrificing what at any cost? Overall, a very good poem!

Best regards and best of luck,
Jo Lark
