My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines.
THE POEM
A poem about shopping for the holidays.
WHAT I LIKED
I enjoyed the story the poem told. It made me chuckle.
STRUCTURE
This is a poem with 5 line stanzas. The 2nd and 4th lines rythme in each stanza.
MECHANICS
I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes. The poem is easy to read and has a nice flow when read out loud.
DESCRIPTIONS
I liked: "What he don't know and I don't tell, won't hurt him anyway." I love this description of the narrator's justification for her admission. It's told in a playful rythming way, as maybe a careless afterthought, but it really speaks to the heart of the narrator's feelings. And sometimes, what somebody doesn't know doesn't hurt them.
PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS
The opening engages the reader with a nice sing-song rythme and keeps them reading. The title fits the poem well. Nice comedic beats.
