The poem "Peace, be still!" exhibits a clear narrative arc and a strong use of imagery, which effectively conveys the speaker's emotional journey. However, there are a few areas that could be improved for a more impactful reading experience.

1. Consistent Meter: The poem's rhythm seems to fluctuate, making it difficult for the reader to follow a consistent beat. For instance, the first two lines have a similar rhythm, but the third line disrupts this pattern. To improve, consider revising the poem to maintain a consistent meter throughout.

2. Punctuation: The poem could benefit from more consistent punctuation. For example, the line "my heart cries out, tis all to loud!" could use a semicolon or period after "out" to separate the two independent clauses. Additionally, "tis all to loud" appears to be a typo; it should be "tis all too loud."

3. Show, Don't Tell: The poem tells the reader about the speaker's emotions, but it could be more effective to show these feelings through concrete images or actions. For example, instead of saying "my hopes and fears reborn anew," consider describing a specific hope or fear in a way that allows the reader to infer the speaker's emotions.

4. Word Choice: The poem uses a mix of formal and informal language, which can be jarring for the reader. For instance, "tis" is a contraction of "it is" that is often used in older, more formal English, while "to face a day of circumstance" is a more modern and informal phrase. Consider choosing a consistent level of formality for your language to create a more cohesive tone.

5. Clear Message: The poem's message could be clearer. The last line, "A still small voice is felt, be still!" is a bit ambiguous. If the "still small voice" is meant to be a comforting presence or a source of strength, consider revising this line to make that clearer to the reader.

the sing-song quality of this. The rhyme was very good, even the last line with the near rhyme. I would change the line to read: A small, strong voice, is felt, be still. Nicely done, ~ Geez.

Hello, Leslie,
I think this is one of your best pieces. It flows so well, and the build up from the beginning to the end keeps the reader intrigued. Such strong language leading into such an introspective, quiet final line.
Thank you!
