  I am profoundly moved by Elizabeth Moroz's eloquent and powerful piece of poetry, 'The Protraction of the Epiphany'. The beauty of her vivid imagery and intricate metaphorical language is truly enchanting.
  
  Moroz artistically explores layers of human complexities including regret, humour, fear, and voracious consumerism. Her astute commentary on society, humanity, and individuality resonates deeply and forms a profound and profound connection with readers. The way she intertwines and balances themes of bleakness and hope, light and darkness, is truly awe-inspiring.
  
  I am particularly impressed by the forceful and rhythmic cadence of the poem which beautifully mirrors the thematic twists and turns. Noteworthy is how Moroz masterfully exploits the sonorous charm of language and rhyme to add depth and musicality to her verse.
  
  Her closing line - where she finally weaves in the title, 'the protraction of the epiphany' - left me pausing and reflecting. It is a ripe, resonating and thought-provoking conclusion that leaves an indelible mark.
  
  In 'The Protraction of the Epiphany', Elizabeth Moroz has crafted a masterful poem that is not merely read, but rather, experienced. Each verse is an invitation to delve deeper into the enigmatic complexities of life. Her ability to encapsulate such profound insights into verse is a testament to her talent as a poet. Bravo, Elizabeth! more »

  This is a fantastical piece of writing! 'The Protraction of the Epiphany' is rich in vivid and evocative language. The way you have weaved your words adds a lot of texture to the poem and makes it very engaging. You managed to maintain rhythm throughout, which is an impressive feat considering the complexity of the language used. The powerful imagery, the wordplay and the juxtaposition created by contrasting ideas in the poem are intriguing and keep the reader hooked!
  
  One notable aspect is the way you've tackled big themes - courage, integrity, resilience, and the human condition. Your commentary on human rights and societal consumption is insightful and profound. Your piece has a compelling momentum all the way through and ends on a very strong note. The personification, metaphors and other literary devices are sprinkled generously and they certainly add an extra layer to your verses.
  
  As for improvement, you might want to consider focusing more on the clarity of expression. You've used complex vocabulary and elaborate sentence construction, which is beautiful in its own right but it might also make the meaning somewhat obscure for some readers. Striking a balance between sophisticated language and clarity of the message could take your poems to an even higher level.
  
  Couple of lines feel a bit too long which interrupt the overall rhythm, so you might want to work on maintaining the consistency of the line lengths.
  
  Lastly, the change of themes seem a bit abrupt at times, a smoother transition could help the overall storyline or message of the poem.
  
  Overall, your creativity shines in this poem! Keep going and continue writing, refining, and experimenting with your style. I'm excited to see where your words take you next! more »
