    Hiiya.
    Okay..
    Stanza 1:
    - the view of the poem is telling the story, which is good, as many features and images are described, as a technique: imagery. Also I liked the descriptions:
    'The waves swallowing it into its deep water grave,'

    Stanza 2:
    - also good imagery is used here. Also, a metaphor is used, which adds more effect ;]
    'That constantly bleed tears of rejection'

    Stanza 3:
    - again! Great descriptions! Favourite line is:
    'A triumphant look crossed her brow.'

    Stanza 4:
    - very descriptive in this one too. Also more metaphors used, which is great.
    Metaphor is:
    'Staining like ink.'
    Also like how you’re telling the story as I read, very affective.

    Stanza 5:
    - AGAIN! Great descriptive language! Love the imagery!
    Favourite lines:
    'She fell to her knees,
    Holding her regretful mistake.'

    Stanza 6:
    - Imagery is still pretty good here! Liked how you have described the scenery.
    Favourite line:
    'A single tear rolled down her cheek.'
    ^ very elegant.

    Stanza 7:
    - Again a beautiful description. Like the setting and the mood. But I think there’s a mistake, line 4, fell. I don’t think that a rose in water can 'fall onto sand'??
    Maybe think about this one?

    Poem Conclusion:
    Very interesting and sad poem. Really liked the descriptive words and imagery used. Metaphors used are also good. Although, if I may suggest a few improvements?
    - When writing more/other poems, try not to drag the poem along- keep it simple.
    - Maybe the poem should be a little shorter, just a little, maybe by 1 stanza.
    Otherwise a great poem, very descriptive!
    The construction is also good, and had an interesting story line, setting, mood and character.
    Well done! Keep it up!
    Good work! Good Luck!
    5/5
