Hi, WriteWithJanney ,

I stumbled upon your poem while browsing through the Read and Review Section.

First of all, Welcome to Writing.com. This is the best writing community ever, where you can learn, write, and hone your craft. Reviewing is a very important factor of this site, so I would encourage you to start doing that. You have expertise to bring into the mix. That means that for job opportunities, you have to search elsewhere; there are none here, everything is a labor of love.

As a poet, look also at "The Poet's Place "  [E] and "~ The Poet's Place Cafe~"  [E]to study the different styles of poetry if you are interested. There is a library for members, you can mingle, discuss, and do assignments. Furthermore, as an upgraded member, you can start blogging. "Blog Tab" .

Your free verse poem is a lovely love poem, with a great emphasis on holding on to your identity. It is indeed soft in tone but strong in its message. I loved that. To have such a vision on relationships means the poet is a strong character, capable of holding her own without getting cynical.

There is a good flow, pace, and rhythm.

The best line for me is: "Nothing deep- just that the sky looked like the
one we used to lie under." It created a strong image of the days you were together.

I found no errors or points to reconsider; it's a modern, coming-of-age poem with a fine atmosphere.

Thanks for sharing. Keep on writing,

My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
