I gave 3 stars and would have given at least 4, except for the English errors, not all of which I mentioned. I DO like rhyming. bri : ) good luck!

Making 'its' the possesive form of 'it' is an 'exception to the general rule' of using an apostrophe followed by 's', as I would use in writing Bri's poem..

Bri, be clear when you critique. ‘It's' is a contraction of ‘it is' or ‘it has.' But the writer should have used ‘its' without the apostrophe because it's not a contraction but the possessive pronoun ‘it's.'

I say: 'motif' does not make any sense here (to me) , though it does rhyme. I avoid using rhymes on rare occasions when I can't find a good one.

Bri, do you know the definition of ‘motif' and why your comment doesn't make any sense?
