Poetry Critique

Biscuits Of Love
by Mindy Carpenter

Memories of my youth.
Flood over my soul.
When I think of Grandma.
They make me feel whole.
Gathering at her house.
With all the family there.
We made lots of memories.
For all of us to share.
Lessons that she taught me.
Guide me thru the day.
If I listened closely.
I cannot go astray.
Love and commitment.
She drilled into me.
Making the person that I am.
Just who I want to be.
Grandma has many names.
Each one has their chosen.
But the names I want her calledStarts with love,
For she is warm and not frozen.

I picked this poem because i read the the title and the first couple of lines and found it to be very interesting. it also talks about the love for her grandma, and i have alot of love for my grandma. I think that the title is good because it doesnt tell about the whole poem it just shows that there is love in the story. i also think that it talks about the biscuits beucase she might remember her grandmas house that way. Maybe her grandma made bicuits alot. Flood over my soul is a metaphor. for she is warm and not frozen is something that you have to figure out and see what she is saying. when she says this i think that she is talking about how her grandma is ery loveing and that all she is. The feeling that the poem give me is the feeling of love. The tone of this piece is memoy. i think this becuase the whole poem is about how she loves her grandma and loves to think about the great memorys that she had with her.

I like how your poem rhymed. The one i chose, did not. Also it's cool how your poem was direct and straight forward- none of this fancy word choice so i dont understand anything- nonsense.
