Hi MontyB

I'm glad I read this work of yours. It is my pleasure to both read and comment on your work "Invalid Item"  on behalf of "SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP" .

First Impression/Thoughts:
The persona harbors self-doubt about her own body and capabilities, even though she has a wonderful and supportive husband and family.

Creativity/Impact:
The repetition of 'What if I loved me for me?' creates a haunting effect that makes the reader remember this poem long after reading it.

Message/Theme:
The theme of a woman not feeling confident about herself is a universal one that all women, and those who are suppressed in some way by society, can easily relate to.

Technique/Technical Notes:
These are just my thoughts and observations. I may not have read the work the way you intended. Please decide for yourself if these comments are helpful to you; if not, feel free to disregard them.

Title - The title is the first thing that prospective readers will see. I thought your title fit your poem very well.

Grammar/Wording - I noticed nothing that jarred or confounded the reading. This is always a sign of good writing.

Overall Rating/Final Thoughts:
A simple but effective poem that conveys the persona's fragile sense of self. With the support she has, I just know she will grow into the confident and strong person she already is!
Thank you for a wonderful read!


Keep writing! Wishing you all the best,

Azrael
