2nd Place

Secrets of the Shadows by Sohinigoswami

Imagery: 9/10

Although your literary illustrations are sometimes questionable, the products of your pen are brimming with beautiful imagery—personification, metaphors, similes and so forth. Your poems are always so deep and captivating. I can tell that you have a rich and mature imagination.

On a different note, I'd like to remind you of the significance of highlighting text. In "Play, pause, replay", I notice that you emboldened certain words (either randomly or purposefully), which places emphasis on them. Only you know why you did this, but since I can't read your mind, I find the formatting to be distracting.

Uniqueness: 10/10

What can I say? Your own creativity bleeds through your work.

Length: 10/10

I didn't find one poem to be too long or too short.

Impact: 9/10

There are simply some poems that speak to my soul—and others that don't. There are lines that leave a haunting impression on me—and others that elude my memory.

Language: 7/10

In terms of grammar, my greatest advice to you is to add punctuation for clarity. For example, in "Hallelujah", you wrote, But if I did well really what's it to you. This line can be edited as follows: But if I did, well, really what's it to you? In addition to this, remember to hyphenate compound adjectives. I also ran into the occasional spelling error.

As for your diction, it is always so powerful and effective that it created these expectations within me. So, if your choice of words fall short of those expectations, I am going to pick it up. For example, in "Winter hides feud", you wrote, and you will see all hidden stuff. Stuff?! Oh, goodness, no. Please use a different word that one would not find in a kindergartener's vocabulary (and I mean this with no disrespect).
