Hi Niveda! Hannah here for a quick review. I hope it doesn't sound stupid and is helpful!

This was really funny, it shows how people sometimes just want something little and have a craving for it and it is all they want. I like how the person just keeps trying to convince the waiter and the waiter is just like, "Are you sure?"
It shows how sometimes people just want things to be simple and that simplicity is important and sometimes just having normal things is what we desire. Great job on it, I hope this review was helpful, that you keep writing and have a great day!


Sincerely,

Hi, NivedaJames22! Atlas here to review your poem, For the Want of Bread and Jam. Before I begin, I just want to remind you that anything I critique is merely a suggestion, so feel free to use or discard any or all of this review as you see fit. Also, I have no intention of being harsh or impolite in this review, so if anything I say appears rude or insensitive, please let me know so we can sort it out. That being said, let's get into it!

Overall Impression
I liked this poem! It's simple, light-hearted, and sweet, with a bit of humor. There are no glaring mistakes. Great job!

Things I Liked
I really liked the rhythm this poem had. It flows very well and has a nice lilt to it. I also really liked the little snippets of imagery you scattered throughout the poem. You used fantastic descriptive language.

Things I'd Edit
Like ForeverYoung299 said, I think the line "But I'm sure I'd said I prefer jam" is a bit clunky. I think it interferes with the flow of the poem a bit. I would alter the word order a bit to clean it up:

But I'm sure I'd said I that I prefer jam

No oh please thank you, I want bread and jam!

Hello!!! Here for a short review!!!
Nitpicks:

But I'm sure I'd said I prefer jam

Wow! That's a good poem!😊 But I think you should put more feeling into it like using some metaphors etc. And you should use words and your imagination to describe your love for jam and to make it more funny.Express your poem in such a way so the audience will feel the way you feel about jam .
Good work!👏👏
