Greetings, Kate! I am reviewing this because you mentioned on the Newsfeed you would like reviews. I'd also like to welcome you once again! This is such a wonderful community. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
First of all, my reviews are intended to be helpful and encouraging, not hurtful in any way. Use what you feel works for you and leave the rest.
The Positives/What I Liked
I just had to look up Squantz Pond. I found out it's actually a 172 acre lake (and State Park) in Connecticut that is named after a Chief from the Schaghticoke tribe. Since you chose Personal and Experience as your genres, I'm guessing you have been there. This is your very first poem? Wow. I'm totally impressed! I like that you did not use punctuation (and were consistent throughout). It feels free, and flows so beautifully, as it should for what it represents. I also browsed through some pictures of Squantz Pond. It's absolutely beautiful. So I think my favorite lines are:
To gaze upon
Squantz Pond
Suggestions/Comments to Consider
Nothing, really, though you might want to add a third genre that includes Nature.
Final Thoughts Great job on your very first poem! Even if it wasn't your first, it's still a good piece. So do you normally write short stories? Or articles? Or perhaps you are (or want to) working on a novel? All I can say is, you are gonna love it here! And it's so nice you already have a friend here who you know in Real Life.
