  Wow! I must commend you Chris, on your incredibly thought-provoking poem, 'For America I Cry'. Your vivid imagery and rhetoric captures the reader's attention from the start. Your ability to liven the current social and political climate is excellent, reflecting your creativity and talent. The way you express your sentiments towards the nation is powerful and captivating.
  
  The rhyme scheme that runs throughout the poem is also consistent and contributes greatly to the overall flow of the poem. I also enjoyed the literary devices you employed, such as metaphor and alliteration.
  
  Moving on to areas where there's room for improvement, it's vital to remember that subtlety often works better in poetry. The poem, while excellently capturing the essence of the current situation, could benefit from incorporating more subtle hints and concealed meanings.
  
  Another aspect that could benefit from improvement is the poem’s length. The piece does run a bit long and some stanzas could potentially be condensed. Your message could come across more powerfully if the poem was more succinct.
  
  Lastly, be aware of how often you reiterate your message. While repetition can be a strong tool in poetry, overusing it can result in loss of impact.
  
  Overall though, you've written an impactful piece that speaks volumes about current socio-political issues. It's a challenging read, but that's what makes it so compelling. Keep up the amazing work! more »
