Casting Charms written by Sibyllene--

10 Points

With this writers poems I always feel they are personal and elegant. This poem connected emotion and images beautifully and I am always enchanted by her tone that is
sincere and delicate. The concept is quite unique, I kept finding myself imaging being inside a snow globe, one where the world was tiny yet a utopia of ourselves and all we ever wanted. An interesting way to end the poem with the word ugliness I didn't expect it as the poem had used all images that were those of beauty. I liked the
fact that the worlds spoken of are natural rather then built environments, it created an antique feeling. Charming indeed.

A very hypnotic write. The poem cast me in with its charm and led me on a journey of thoughts and emotions. A very intriguing write and beautifully written love poem.

Armistice under Siege by Lady Mer Divinity

10pts

This is a priceless piece of wisdom when it comes to finding strength and courage to exist and to hang in there when the going gets tough. Moreover, I found those line breaks really effective, not only had it enhanced the beat but created the structure of this poem.

Spirit of the Soul (4)

As writers our emotions run a jagged line between anguish and love. I felt the poet delivered the anguish for the love of writing in a very unique way.

Personalities by Ms SunShine 4pts

Excellent way of saying something other than the literal meaning of the words, "you can't resist this man" kidding aside, your words are precise although I've seen quite a few of this style but still it has a broad appeal. Branching out with your writing style definitely has its bonuses; it's a good training tool to sharpen your talents. Keep it up!

The Heart Brings You Back By Britt - 4 Points

I enjoyed the warm tone of this poem, it was sweet and yet something in it created a feeling of being alone. The imagery created a scene in my mind '
as though I was wondering the city, searching for something, however the street was like a ghost town - empty, and I was left trying to find my way
back home. I thought the topic was interesting, I wasn't expecting it to end the way it did, it is indeed true that we make our own homes. As I said I wasn't
expecting such an ending, it brought back the warmth of the poem and I'm glad it ended the way it did. Lovely read

I Am Now Revived by The Poetess - 7 Points

"This piece was emotive in the way it provoked sympathy from the reader, I felt it was quite dramatic with word choice though it worked well with taking the reader back to a time of adolescence. I thought the first line was intriguing, an attention grabber. To use 'slaying' in such context was an interesting idea. The first stanza depicted a scene that reminded me of school corridors, again I liked how this poem took you back to a different time and place. I was able to enter into the writers mind and heart and while I did feel sympathy at the start of the poem I was overpowered by the strength towards the end."
