    I must be mad, but I take as much enjoyment out of reviewing poems as I do posting.
    Therefore the first 2 poets on here who review all 12 of mine will receive a review of 24 of theirs!!

    The reviews have to be a min of 50 words and I wil double that to 100 in my crits of yours.

    I will focus on rhythm, theme and meaning and imagery.

    I have a few spare hours between now and the weekend, who is up for it?

    You don't have to do all those lol! I'd be perfectly fine with just a few, I just have time tonight and it'd be awesome to read your poetry.

    Awesome, I really appreciate your comments, they are some of the most helpful critique and they definitely are making me think about certain ways to improve parts of it. Love your perspective too...
    thanks and have one or two more to read of yours!

    Thanks to both of you for your reviews, they are extremely helpful.

    I will now continue my quest to review yours.
    POTP I have 15 left to do.

    Everlasting I have done one so only 23 left!!

    Might take a bit longer than I thought,
    Ladies I am going to change tactics, unless anything obvious stands out I am not going to crit, I shall read your poems and give you my interpretation. What I feel your message is. Even if I am wrong it would be interesting for you to see how somebody else views your message.

    Ok,

    Everlasting I have now done 7 POTP I have done 10. I am really enjoying reading both of your poems. I am going a bit slow because I am reading them 2 or 3 times each. I am happy to do 24 of each because I am learning a few things as I read.
    Hopefully some of my views are useful, I might miss the point but any view is better than just "good job!"
    therefore I am not going to rush through them. So I may only do 5-10 a night.
    regards
