Hello, I am PandaPaws and I am reviewing this piece as part of the Simply Positive Group!

TITLE: The title tells the story, and the fact that you put in the intro that it was an acrostic let me know exactly what I was going to be reading.

THEME: Your theme is the dwindling beauty of the Coral reef. I love that you included a link to the Coral Reef program at the conclusion of your piece.

TONE: Your poem starts out free and lively, which keeps the reader's attention and then at the very end you mention the threat to the reefs.

PACE: YOur pace is quick and lively by way of the short phrases.

FLOW/RHYTHM/METER: Your flow, rhythm and meter are great. Many poets I have read who attempt acrostics don't seem to include rhythm and flow in their poems. Many just have laundry lists of items, not a poem. You have mastered this with this piece.

FORM: As I said you have done a wonderful job with the Acrostic Form.

FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE: Your use of imagery is great. The clors and vivid word choice is artistic greatness. Great use of simile with the phrase - "Like storm-blown trees". Also, great use of assonance with explore, exist, extinction.

EXCELLENT WRITING EXAMPLES: These are my favorite lines...

Rainbow-hued fish,
Explore and live,
Existing with the coral, in
Fear of extinction.
