Thank you, sir, for reviewing my poem first. I am the writer of Regrets, my love. And by "it," I meant forgiveness, I feared the forgiveness may never come. And thank you for your honest feedback. I am a new writer, please do forgive my mistakes. I will improve, thanks to your advice.

This was super useful - seeing an expert analyze poetry by non-expert poets (at least for the most part) is new and particularly useful in ways to your (at least for the most part) non-expert poet audience. Additionally, the chance these writers get to receive that expert advice may be the only time they ever receive such an expert analysis of and commentary on their work. I love this series already.

Great notes and great poems! Thanks Andrew

Loved this! I enjoyed hearing and understanding the feedback. Great points to take away

This was surprisingly fun. Please do more!

This is such a cool idea! I love your advice on literature. It’s really cool seeing viewer poetry and writings get reviewed and critiqued! I can’t wait to see more!

What a wonderful video to have on YT. Andrew and the poets deserve a thousand times as many views as reward and thank you.

This is AMAZING! Thank you so much for such objective and respectful reviews and to all those who sent in their work! Hats off to you for giving suggestions to make already good poems even better! For someone who’s not an English major or quite far from the humanities, these are such valuable (and inspirational) suggestions to look into, even for those not feeling brave enough to send in (hmm… wonder who 😅). Your editing is superb, without losing most of the sentiments or imagery conveyed (writers may have a hard time filtering with the urge to hold on to or showcase all aspects to the minute detail at times). These are talented poets and you’ve curated to highlight specific aspects in each and I could see some poems already doing what you’d mentioned in the previous! The last one was so heavy with such palpable tension and your suggestion made it even tighter and polished! I think these are more valuable than going over already published poems from famous poets-that would’ve undergone many such revisions already-to show what they did right! Btw, I have a question on capitalization… what is the general “rule” on that? I’ve seen some that capitalize only at the beginning of a sentence, as in after a period (even outside of these) and some that don’t. 🎉❤

This is the single most exciting thing happening on KZfaq! And so incredibly useful!!!

I really like this type of content. And Good Poems reviewed. My hopes to making better poems with myself as well as others.

Loving this format! What a great way to educate, inspire and bring value. Calling it now, these videos are going to be popular. Talk about finding your ikigai. So exciting!

Excellent breakdown! I appreciate this format on your channel, it's refreshing to see someone who understands language. On another note, I am I the only person who is not a big fan of poetry that doesn't rhyme? It seems like rhyming is nearly gone from contemporary poetry, not sure why. I enjoy non-rhyming poetry of course, but it feels more like reading personal thoughts jotted down. Anyway, I hope to see more of these review videos in the future!

Thank you so much for reviewing my poem (the second one)! I really appreciated the advice and am absolutely thrilled to receive professional feedback. Thank you for your kind words, and I'll be sure to implement the advice going forward :DD

So good to see your video no again I gotta save it up

Thanks so much for this video. The feedback given on these poems helps with my own. Two of my biggest takeaways: write using language that people actually use, and don’t get too caught up with the ‘rules’ if they hold back the poem’s quality. Some very good advice here.

Such amazing feedback! Thank you for your great explanations and suggestions on alternatives :)

poem 3 is not bad, musicality-wise

Wow, your analysis is amazing! Thank you; I’ve subscribed. 😃

Another incredible video as usual, Andrew! Thanks for giving us some real examples of poetry revision. I find these videos with explanations AND examples super helpful! I posted a poem in your discord that I was contemplating submitting to your website. Only, I thought I might submit all my drafts (I only had 3) to specifically get feedback on my revision process rather than feedback on the poem itself, although thats never unwanted. 😆 I'm not sure if that would be of interest to you or not though. I could also do it with a new poem rather than one I already posted on discord. I'll go through my writing journal and see what I might have to work with.

the moth one hits good, i hope this doesn’t count as ridicule but a lot of contemporary poems i have a hard time enjoying because of how pedestrian they sound. i don’t mind antiquated diction if the subject reaches for something higher

Ey this is really great content! i am totally submitting 🪇
