Whispers by GLRoble

Flow: 9

Cover: 10

Message: 8

Total: 27/30

Praise:

GLRoble seems to have an infinite different ways to illustrate break-up, depression, and love. Each poem is different from the next and full of awesome metaphors (I don't even know how you managed to think them up)! There is a distinct beat to all of GLRoble's poems ("stars," "not," and "spark, cloud, loneliness" are my favorites). I can still hear the words whispering in my ear. ~Teressa

Here are poems that explore every aspect of popular themes. "Whispers" is abound with catch phrases and inspiration. ~Randol

Echoes Of A Confused Mind by asmithereader

Praise:

The "echoes of a confused mind" still resonate in my head, but I am not at all confused! In fact, I feel enlightened by asmithereader's unique style of expression. I highly encourage readers to take a good look at how asmithereader ends each of her poems because the last stanzas are all so powerful! asmithereader chooses creative ways to express popular poetic themes; I recommend "Invisible," "Wispy Grey Clouds," and "Sweet Venom." asmithereader really knows how to touch the heart! ~Teressa.

Isolation, societal judgement and pressure, heartbreak. Common themes, yet creatively portrayed in this beautifully written collection. ~Randol

A Part Of Everyone by MiyaC1

Flow: 9

MiyaC1's poetry book should really become "a part of everyone". This collection is one of the most creative, shocking, and realistic group of poems that I have ever read! The structure of being split into three separate categories is much like braiding someone's hair—delicate and elegant to the very last twist (my favorite is Dreamful Sadness, second is Anesthesia)! I don't know how, but MiyaC1 managed to tell a magnificent story using a poetic style! This is an absolute must read! ~Teressa

Very creative. MiyaC1 knows exactly when, where, and how to put emphasis to her words, so that even the most everyday things hold meaning. ~Randol
