The poem, "Golden Heart," presents a contrast between two characters, which is a compelling narrative device. The use of this technique helps to highlight the differences in personality and physical attributes between the two subjects. However, the poem could benefit from a more nuanced exploration of these differences.

The poem's rhythm and rhyme scheme are consistent, which aids in readability and flow. Yet, the poem's meter could be improved. There are lines with varying syllable counts, which can disrupt the rhythm. For instance, the line "My body is an hourglass, but I hate the way I look" has more syllables than most other lines. Adjusting the syllable count to be more consistent across the poem would enhance the rhythm.

The poem effectively uses imagery to describe the two characters, but it could benefit from more varied and unique descriptions. For example, the line "Her big blue eyes just keep pulling you there" uses a common trope of blue eyes being attractive. Using less conventional descriptions could make the poem more distinctive and engaging.

The theme of self-worth and comparison to others is clear and relatable. However, the poem could delve deeper into the emotional impact of these comparisons. The line "I know she's just perfect and I'm just the girl you always knew" hints at a deeper emotional struggle, but the poem could further explore these feelings.

The ending line "It's not about who you are, but what's inside that Golden Heart" effectively summarizes the poem's message. However, the term "Golden Heart" could be introduced earlier in the poem to strengthen this conclusion. This would create a stronger connection between the poem's title and its content.

Overall, the poem effectively uses contrast and imagery to convey its message. With some adjustments to the rhythm, descriptions, and emotional depth, it could be even more impactful.

Hello, Shelby,
A clever poem! The language flows really well, and the comparisons are intriguing. Creative! I did trip up a bit with the last stanza...seems a bit too wordy. But the meaning in the last two lines says it all!
Thank you,

We all feel opposition to one degree or another. Our strengths and weaknesses conglomorate leaving us anxious and forsaken. Comparisons and discord within our own miscommunications leed us along, until we break and see with crystal vision. Guiding our broken hearts to peace and self forgiving. I thought it was a wonderful poem! Great work!
