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.'
Overall, I like the poem and Poet's Notes, but you seem to have more of a flair for biology/biochemistry than for English. Too bad. It mght help some it you proofread or proofread more than once. Use care in your use of apostrophes., Twice you used it's for the possesive form of it;
Bri, you really get off when you others with faint praise and your judgemental opinions.
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?
Bri, it's not fair to criticise this poem without giving examples.
