Realization

[Malu]

Hi Malu,

I am writing a comment with my mod hat on.
I appreciate that you are still new to the site and it can take time to get into things, but you seem to be missing the idea by quite a wide mark concerning what is considered appropriate feedback on other poems.
Look at your three offered crits:-

I automatically really liked this poem. The theme of the ocean and life is always a beautiful combination. The personification and detail created a beautiful scene in my mind.

I enjoyed the amount of detail and interpretation that went into describing such an everyday event. It brings new light and ideas when we think at a deeper level. The vocabulary and metaphors used help showcase the feelings, and in my opinion I liked how the hardship was felt, and how there was hope at the end.

I'm really compelled by the meaning and the allusions being used to portray a very surreal image in my mind.

...now ask yourself; have i offered anything that might help them to improve? Are there any objective comments by which they can assess the individual lines or poetic tools used?

From your comments you obviously appreciate it when others offer you some in depth comments or observations, so do you think you have offered anything back by way of return.

There are lots of places on the site where you can get some advise on how to critique skill, it is an aquired skill and we do not expect you to be giving line by line in the serious section, but I would ask that you please try and make your comments more specific and be of some help. I know it can be daunting when you start out, I found that simply spending some time reading the other posts helped me when I first joined.

I'm just trying to offers some pointers and some friendly advise. AJ.

Ok, thanks. I'll do my best to work on that
