    1st stanza spelling mistake. Canvas, easy fix. This wasn't a bad poem at all. A suggestion though, is to avoid rhymes if you'll only be making one or two. Because they can cause an increase or decrease in the flow of the poem. Also at times the descriptions seemed dry and forced. Try to allow the descriptions to be natural. All in all I rate this 4/5.

    Ohhh amazing, simply amazing write. You had so many comparisons in there that I don't know where to begin. Let's see, I'll tell you first what I got out of the poem. I liked how you compared the land to your heart sort of... like everyone knows that they leave footprints on the land... but not many realize the impact of the ones they leave on hearts. I also invisioned the white house as sort of a dusty heart of a worn out lover. Like how you said there was gates (by the way I love how you said "shelled by reddish rust...it was a unique way of saying things) I inviosned that the gates were the barriers around the heart. That were easily broken, sort of like somone could break the gates... but never actually hold the heart. I'm not sure if this was at ALL what you were intending to portray. But thats what I got out of it... I loved it nice work

    Good poem! I love how all your similes are very unique. Besides "Canvas" in the first stanza "manson" should be mansion in the 3rd, "will" should be with. But those are really little mistake. This poem also flowed really well, the only thing is you could add some more punctuation to make it easier to understand. Also, in the first stanza it should be "its (no apostrophe) wispy hands caress"

    Besides that, very good job.
