Excellent

Beautiful poem about rebuilding life on earth after nuclear war. It was easy to read and understand and the ending was very inspiring. Thanks, Jeanette

Marvellous. You can do wonders with the poetry in art contests. I look at them and can't seem to get my head around it. Bravo.

Thank you, yet again my friend for continued support and encouragement. I'm that way with other poetry forms. I honestly look at some of them, and wonder how anyone manages to turn out such great work with all those restrictions! Amazing, huh? As said, thanks so much! xoxoxoxoxo

Exceptional

This is an outstanding poem. It has both strong emotion and great description. I can trully see this "brave new world". And the rhymes are well chosen. The birds bringing new hope sound a little "un-original", but I guess they are a good symbol and sign. I love it.

A six! Wow, I'm very surprised and very pleased. Your words are truly encouraging and positive, and I'm so glad you enjoyed this one enough to rate it a 6. Yeh, the birds is a bit cliche, but wanted to keep them involved! Again, I thank you so very much for your excellent comments and terrific rating xoxoxoxoxo

Comment from J Keung

Good

You've written something very deep and meaningful.However I'd like to suggest that you modify the length of some of the lines to make the metre go a bit more smoothly. The language could benefit from a little trimming to make the impact of the poem more powerful.

Thanks for this review J Keung. I am going to tweak this poem, but at the moment, the 'how' escapes me! I know some lines are a bit syllable-ish. Still, the answer will come no doubt. I appreciate your comments, and as said, thank you for taking the time to point that out xoxoxoxoxoxo
