Hi there! This is really different, and I quite enjoyed it. It's very refreshing, I tell you. I've never been quite comfortable with haikus - I have what my friends ...

Hi, I'm Grin. I'm going to start out with your rhyme - Ed and Amy are right, it does sound a little forced. Now I did like it, and the ...

Lydia, thank you. My nan, who's 96, is ill at the moment - she's really frail, has lived in a care home for years, and the cold just got to ...

Hi, I'm Grin. Well, I really liked this. It was really sweet and some of your imagery is absolutely lovely. I won't nitpick your punctuation, because there's so much to ...

Hi there :) Lydia has all the grammatical errors, but poetry doesn't have to be grammatical. (Sorry, Lyd!) I like the whole no-capital-letter thing, but I will redeem myself by ...

Hi, I'm Grin, it's very nice to meet you :) Right, this was good. I liked it. A litte drawn-out, but good. Nitpickings: You shouldn't need to point out the ...

Wow, that's... pretty epic. Seriously, I thought it was excellent. Your presentation is so different and unique, and it really suits your story. You don't see this sort of thing ...

Okay, I loved this. And you have a good point. Critques can be very critical - but people are really trying to help, most of the time. I'm a really ...

Hi, I'm Grin I honestly can't think of anything to suggest you do with this. Peanut got it in one. Maybe you could try and get a little more emotion ...

Hawkie, my dear, that was stunning. You've really captured this well and I commend you. I absolutely loved it. Gold star for you! Seriously, I'm having trouble coming up with ...

Lovely imagery, well done. Right, then, it takes more time to pick out the bad points than to say what worked well, so I'm sorry about the emphasis on nitpicks, ...
