Like poetry
A review should
Reflect the reader's heart
And their reactions
To the verse
Over to them.
Let
The words flow
And grammar be damned
It's the meaning
That counts.

Well said, Holly, as usual. You have the best point about poetry, that it captures feelings, even broken feelings. I get the sense that you are saying we should primarily encourage rather than get into punctuation. That's right, of course.
Yet I've learned more from an honest criticism of deficiencies than a "Good Job". I'm not talking about a personal attack, or a motivated attack. I'll defend myself and not learn anything from those. But I've grown when my deficiencies are made known, and I learn to deal with them.
As I think about this poem, I'm thinking that a artist can grow even when they are appreciated for what they have done. So, again: Well done, Holly!
Great write Holly, one thing I like your work it always honest and comes from your heart and that matters. Forget the meter,format and blah blah. What I really consider as valuable is your connections and gift how connect and makes magic. I commends you for your honest work and from there, you have bigger chance to be heard big time.
Regards~Your Friend Marc

...seeing if I can meet you... I really like this, very cool! I personally find it impossible to "critique" poetry... stories & books are another animal. But for poetry, I just try to feel it, see what I can experience from it or bring to it for myself... and this one I can feel very much!

Oh that's so cool that I picked your fave line:)... And Hi!
Holly I love your honest and open heart! I spend my days reading, analyzing, correcting and editing writing - an English teacher's job. But here, I want to focus first on content, the "soul laid bare" in a writer's words. I will make suggestions regarding grammar and spelling only when I feel that an error interferes with intended meaning, and then I will do so gently. You always make your point, and eloquently. Keep writing!

thank you much teach...now you have the skills to give technical advice*)*)*)
I say review how you want as long as your intent isn't a personal attack. I'm a lot like you I review by how i relate to the work. I'm not an English professor!! Lol..
You may not be the grammar queen Holly but you're surely the Queen of Hearts....nicely pen'd. And you know what I say, fook em if they're too blind to see, nuff said, and I don't give a rat's tush if that was grammatically correct!
