Hi Tim Chiu

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

First Impression/Thoughts:
Your short description already primes the reader for what to expect, and upon reading one is rewarded with an uplifting piece of work that promotes kindness and positivity. A very noble effort indeed!

Creativity/Impact:
This is the best way I can think of to combat all those negative reviews this poem is responding to - to meet hostility with civility, cruelty with kindness. To show that one can always choose the better path.

Message/Theme:
Even when things get really bad and everyone around is making it worse, we can still choose to spread goodwill, kindness, positivity, and all kinds of goodness to counter.

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. Your title is not only appropriate but has a timeless appeal to it.

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

Form/Flow - I'm no expert on form and I notice that you've chosen free verse to express yourself here.

Emotion/Imagery - Techniques such as alliteration contribute to delivering your message effectively.

Overall Rating/Final Thoughts: Who can diss a poem that tries to bring out the best in us?

Thank you for a wonderful read!


Keep writing! Wishing you all the best,

Azrael
