Excellent

This is a great 2-4-4-12 poem. It appears that you have the syllable count correct. This is a well organized poem and it flows nicely from beginning to end.

Well done and good luck in the contest

Excellent

This is so unique! The reference to Circe and the clever play on words like "Circe men swined" really caught my attention. The line "Hero's wife wove shroud" is especially powerful. Great job - this is really fun to read!

Good

Hi author,

Your contest entry meets the syllable requirements and you have some good rhymes in there. I'm a mite confused on your meaning, and you have some formatting glitches with special characters not rendering properly. I understand you are making a reference to the Greek goddess Circe, who is renowned for her vast knowledge of potions and herbs and for turning people into animals. It is a little unclear how this reference connects to the second part of your poem. Perhaps a different picture would convey your meaning more clearly. Let me know if you want further assistance with the construction.

Best regards,

🦍
