    Overall, I liked it. The last half was much smoother than the first. However, I liked the active voice in the first half better. I don't know if the switch was intentional later on, but I would definitely keep the poetry in active voice. It lends a sense of urgency and anxiety to the material.

    On the same note, I think the two line, repeat stanza would be better in active voice.

    Also, the second line "Wanting him to join them"
    feels shallow. 'Want' isn't very descriptive.

    Line 1: I don't think you need the adverb 'there'

    Line 7: switch in voice. take out the ing and make it active voice.

    Line 10: Doesn't sound quite right. Get rid of the conjunction 'that' or make 'he is' a contraction? Either way, 'that' feels like a filler word.

    Line 16: This stanza is very important, but it loses a lot of emotion on this line. I suspect a dying father would have more of a reply to his daughter's love than understanding. I would really like to reread the poem with a revised line here to add more depth to the characters in the poem and also to draw the reader in emotionally.

    Line 18: typo - them should be him.

    Line 19: I like the line, but the comma is disruptive. Also, it just doesn't seem to flow well for me. "He gives up the fight he could never win" ? I dunno, it could be better somehow :\

    Hopefully this isn't discouraging or too negative. I did enjoy the poem and would like to see it refined a bit more.

    There was a few mistakes in this poem but i think overal it had a great meaning throughout it. It held alot of emotion and i loved the voice at the start of it. The idea behind this was portrayed nicely. Well done on this poem~mel

    'The angels are calling to him
    Wanting them to join them'

    The first them should be him.

    Anyway, great poem. Not as good as your others but definitely deserving of a 4/5. Great craftmanship and well penned. The flow was a little off throughout the poem but i liked the idea behind it. :)

    "The angels are calling to him
    Wanting them to join them"

    I just love how youve written this, andt e reptition seems really strong. It works brilliantly. Good range of vocabulary youve used hear, and youve got a few rhyme's. It has a good overall flow to the entire poem. Its filled with emotion and i loved that about the poem. To improve i suggest you use punctuation. Other then thata good read! Keep writing! xx
