Strengths: nice description and detail in the poem, "cover to cover". The title parallels with the poem, and I like that. She talks in the 3rd person in the poem. The poem is about a book, but she talks as if it is a lover. Good beginning to end. Nice topic.

---

Weaknesses: good description and detail, but should have had more.

Rating (1-10): 8

Overall Analysis: More detail and description but over all it is a great poem.

Strengths:

“[She] pulls [her] faith ‘round [her], limp and damp, shivering in the penetrating sadness”…. Yes, she does do that, and she does much more as well. She uses every multimedia device known to man (or woman) to get her poetic point across. She might actually have a literal bag of adjectives next to her while she weaves her poetry.

---

Weaknesses:

She pulls from that adjective bag like it’s a bag of highly descriptive Doritos so often that it kinda takes away from a few of her poems. They still flow well enough, but it seems as is the poetry becomes dictated by which words she wanted to use. This is never more apparent in her poem entitled “The Octopus Garden” wherein she tosses aside her need to blow the reader away with verse-lengthening adjectives. The result is a poem that is just phenomenal.

Overall Analysis:

She is definitely dazzling with her HTML, photobucket, and YouTube usage, and her poetry definitely benefits from that as well as the poet’s rapport with the readers throughout the comment section. I gave her an extremely high 8 because you can tell she just cares about her every word. Her poetry will be around a very long time because of that.
