Hi Whiskerface

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

First Impression/Thoughts:
A very lyrical poem with a philosophical bent to it, and ultimately an uplifting message to deliver.

Creativity/Impact:
It's great to use death as a catalyst for positive action.

Message/Theme:
The message to use the deaths of loved ones not as memories that hold us back and mire us in sorrow, but to help us fan the flames of passion within us is an excellent one.

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. The title of this poem fits it nicely with the message at the end, about setting our hearts ablaze, thereby reinforcing the central theme. A good choice.

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

Form/Flow - You used the alternating rhyming pattern of even lines like a ballad initially, and then almost every alternate line starts rhyming. It is a little difficult to tell the stanzas apart, if there are indeed stanzas. Better line spacing might make it easier to see the individual stanzas.

Emotion/Imagery - The poem really starts to build up in vigor towards the end, starting with make them blaze! My favorite line is the final fiery The inferno at your core.

Overall Rating/Final Thoughts:
Other than some formatting issues, there's nothing I would change. Thank you for a wonderful read!


Keep writing! Wishing you all the best,

Azrael
