I think reviewing poetry is really difficult. I remember being presented with some poem about a frog in AP English back in my senior year of high-school and thinking, "How in the world am I suppose to analyze this?". Somehow, I slugged through and managed to jot down something -- I think I mostly stuck to analyzing the mechanics of the poem. Rhyme, meter, alliteration, metaphors, imagery, etc. Looking back, I'm pretty sure my English teacher wouldn't have cared what I wrote as long as I wrote it well.
But anyways, what do you look for when reviewing poetry? What elements of a poem do you bring up in your critiques?
