Words by l.raven

Excellent

Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted

Nice spiritual acrostics spelling WORDS. Yet compact speech with good emotionally evocative diction and vivid visualization. Well done. It also has a beautiful and elegant shape.

Hollow As A Board by I am Cat

Excellent

Nice pun filled romp into the world of wooden witticisms. Good description and use of dual meaning diction. Great way to stay in the theme without sounding stiff or wooden. Liked the ornate formatting that accompanied the piece

Japanese Instrument Sings by Joan E.

Excellent

Nice descriptive poem with couplet rhyme scheme and a good use of diction and instructional narrative. The reader can almost hear the mellow tones of the flute.

Well done mirage form. First I've seen on the site. Good use of onamadipea and ornate formatting to accentuate the piece. Well done as an ekphrastic interpretive poem.

The G In Me by Dean Kuch

Excellent

Nice spiritual with many sonnet attributes, although stress is on message, as opposed to construction in this piece. Even the font, arrangement and spacing downplay the structure in favor of thesis. Well written
