  AIDA

  This is a beautifully composed poem, Chris. You have a writting style that brilliantly and deeply articulates emotions and philosophical thoughts. Your verses flow smoothly, painting a vivid picture of the transition from this life into the eternal. The combination of hope, faith, and peace in your words provides a comforting solace and a true testament to your poetic prowess.
  
  In terms of the emotion evoked, the poem effectively portrays the serene acceptance of the final stage of life, which is deeply touching and profound. The repetition of the concepts of liberation and heavenly reward is emphatic and quite moving.
  
  Your use of metaphor and imagery is excellent. Phrases like "shed the grip of doom", "brutal haze", and "restless hellish rage" are poignant and expressive. The final lines provide a delightful sense of encouragement and optimism.
  
  For improvement, I would suggest a bit more variation in the rhythm of the lines. Some verses seem to have an extra syllable or two which slightly disrupts the rhythm when read. Tweaking these instances can make the poem roll off the tongue better, enhancing the reading experience without losing the meaning or emotional impact.
  
  Also, while the language used effectively conveys the depth and gravity of the themes, perhaps include some simpler words and phrases as well to promote inclusivity. This way, readers of all levels can enjoy and understand your poem fully.
  
  Overall, this is a truly moving and powerful piece of poetry. Keep writing and continue to share your talent with the world. Great job, Chris! more »
