lost at seas depth - HeatherO16
I have to say, I do not like this cover. The title doesn't stand out at all and is hard to see, there is no colour scheme, and the image used is not the best quality. I would suggest heading over to a good graphics shop to get a more attractive cover for your story, I know a few good ones and would be happy to suggest a few for you ^-^

The description doesn't really tell us much about the story, if someone didn't know it was a poetry book before reading this, they still don't after. Although I do like it and it is poetic, it just needs some more 'direction', if you know what I mean. Also, there isn't much grammar here, from a lack of capitals and full stops, or just poor formatting, to the use of 'your' rather than 'you're'. As a whole, however, it isn't bad and just needs some tweaking.
For example:
Poetry that you can truly relate to.
Words that understand what really goes on in your mind.
Things you've been waiting to say.
What you truly mean.
Allow me to ease your mind, by saying it so that you don't have to.
I don't know, this just a little something I came up within like 2 minutes haha, but you get the point. It just needs some revision.

I do like your style. It is simplistic but effective. I really like your flow and the rhyming used, it all comes together so well. The only bit of criticism I have is that, at times, it feels like some of your poems are too short as if they are only half of the message you are trying to get across. Although, this doesn't happen too often and is just my own personal opinion. I would love to see some slightly longer/extended poems from you!

When it comes to your technicality, there isn't much I can say. I am not a poetry writer myself so I'm not entirely sure about the rules of grammar and punctuation within poetry which means I cannot accurately comment on your use of it. However, at times I believe you have used enjambment in the place of a comma, which I think is fine in poetry, but in some of these instances, I believe that a comma would have been the better choice to help with the flow. But, once again, I do not write poetry so I can only provide my own opinion regarding your technical accuracy.

As you can see with this review, I really do like your poems. There are just a few little things you could improve on. The most points were reduced for the cover and the description, which are obviously not the main focus of the book, but are still a vital part of it as they present your book and are the first thing a reader will see when they stumble across it. Therefore, many readers will decide whether they are going to give your poems are read based on these two factors. To interest readers enough that they open up to the first chapter, you will need an eye-catching cover and a captivating description.
