    I felt the rhythm falter slightly in the middle of the poem, possibly because of a drastic change in syllable count around that area. Besides that, I thought the rhyming was done pretty well. I think you could have included more details about your friends, since they're so important, I'm sure you have a lot of things to say about them specifically.

    I understand how you feel. All of my friends are 2 years older than me. So this year i have to live without them.
    You did a really good job!!

    Wow this is really good. I know how you feel about your best friends leaving. One of my best friends moved to a different school in 6th grade. I never saw her till Freshmen year of high school and we are still best friends. You just need to know that if they are your best friends they won't forget about you no matter what and they may have made new friends but you where always there first. :)

    This poem really shows how much your friends really mean to you-the emotions you felt are expressed really well and can be felt by the reader. My only problem with the poem is the break in the middle of the poem. The syllable count changes a lot and breaks up the flow on the line where you changed. To smooth this out you may want to add in a blank line so that the reader realizes the change better and is more prepared. Overall the poem is a wonderful write! 5/5 Keep it up!

    It's based more on the emotional level so it really appeals to the emotions. Some flow problems because of the words choosen and well just things of that nature but still really thought that this had been more for showing the emotions which is fine. So this...did have that emotional level that really made it something interesting despite some of the rough flow.

    U hav described this situation really well, tho i think this poem perhaps lacks depth, and several of ur poems are very similar, i would love for u to be a bit more experimentive with ur writing, try different styles, different subjects, just be more creative. u have the talent u just need to expand it and broader ur horizons. aim higher and u will improve tremendously
