Dear Kesi:
Your poem is an outstanding work for a person in our society with the life experience of only 14 years. Indeed, your poem is well above the sniveling, hackneyed tripe so often demurely submitted for praise, by persons of all ages, who fervently believe themselves to have the ‘soul of a poet’, and their efforts to be self-evident master pieces, destined to be lauded throughout the ages. Specifically, your subject matter, use of meter, metaphor, allusion, and contrast indicate that you have given much more than a passing thought to the essence and form(s) of poetry, and how it may be received by the reader or listener, and what commonality you and your reader/listener may share – something hacks fail to do.
As a reader of your poem, I thank you for your thoughtfulness and effort. I hope that you continue to develop and explore your abilities as a poet for the rest of your life. When that is over, I hope that you may leave behind a body of work with which you feel truly satisfied.
Sincerely,
Jay
