*Note1* My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines.


*Reading* THE POEM

The poem was inspired by the legend of Jack O' Lantern.

*Idea* WHAT I LIKED

A very concise poem that intrigues the reader and piques their curiosity to learn more about Jack O Lantern.

*Star* STRUCTURE

This is a poem with 2 couplets and an AABB rythme scheme. There's a nice beat to the poem that resonates with the reader.

*Star* MECHANICS

I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes. Good use of WDC ML to increase the font.

*Star* DESCRIPTIONS

I liked: "That poor old soul, that stupid Jack," This a very descriptive line that tells us a little more about Jack. He's been doing whatever he's been doing for a while now, and unfortunately, it's not something that he's excited to do. The line implies he's "forced" into doing it.


*Star* PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS

The opening gives and overview to the reader and lets them know what to expect. The title, again, speaks to what to expect. If anything, I might suggest a dropnote or a link to a website that talks a little bit more about the legend. I'm vaguely familiar with it. Overall, a good poem that fits into this time of year.
