***Gotta know I was impressed with that review! Respected Poetess . . .!
➡ Hi! I am GerMac, affiliated with Power Reviewers Group. I am here today to honor you with a review of one of your poems for your account anniversary. Please use my suggestions as you see fit. 
My comments are opinions only.
–– OVERALL IMPRESSION:
This poem is about poetry in a mundane world.
––THEME/CREATIVITY:–
Footsteps on red floral carpet were hushed. The poet trudged up the stairs in disbelief. A twin flood light guarded the secrets of the authors within. The first session wasn’t over and the poet was not authorized to enter. The next room was empty. Comfy chairs around a conference table with complimentary pens and paper beckoned. Soothing cool water in long stemmed glasses wes ready to parch throats. Listen then learn! Most memorable to me: The poet turned around and skipped down the stairs.
I question why the poet was so happy to get out of that hallway to the point she skipped down the stairs. The clue might be in the non-mundane world that she preferred, perhaps a walk in the forest.
–– TECHNIQUE/LANGUAGE USAGE/PUNCTUATION/SUGGESTIONS:
Rhyme is sprinkled throughout the poem. Imagery is used effectively. Personification was appropriate, eg easel holds attention. Nice simile, eg like a dark wooden soldier. I was not distracted by errors in usage, grammar or punctuation. This comment is a disclosure, stating errors are not obvious. If they exist and are not mentioned, they go unnoticed.
Thank you for sharing,
GerMac
***Skipped happily because I’d gotten sudden inspiration on what to write about and was eager to get back to the classroom and create my little poem!
➡ This is a simply positive review from Simply Positive Forum, Anniversary Review Forums, and DisAbility Writer’s Group. I’m simply Positive we’ll both benefit from this review. (Pun intentional and I’ll bet you’re smiling now huh?)
My overall impression of your writing: You’ll learn to deal with the stage fright. Besides I’ve yet to be bitten by a microphone!
Your spelling and grammar: looked good to me. I saw no issues.
Your writing made me feel: fortunate to have a little more experience doing readings and such.
What I liked most was: the fact that you tried. We never fail unless we fail to try.
What I liked least was: the length. I like metered poetry the most.
Closing thoughts: Keep writing. It’s good for the soul! –Didn’t leave name . . .
***Not particularly helpful as far as the poem itself goes . . . plus, I can’t think where I gave the impression of stage fright, or that I hadn’t any speaking experience! I’ve had plenty of it. I simply didn’t want to read a bad poem to a class full of better poets than I was/am. Large round table we sat at was in no need of a microphone. We heard each other very well!
➡ I’m sorry, I don’t understand. At the beginning, you said you did this as an exercise, and it wasn’t that good. I totally disagree. I’ve been to many a conference, workshops, and your poem took me back to those days. Leaving one session, to attend another, being challenged to go outside of my comfort zone.
You’ve captured a moment, well several really- but the walk, the ability to take the ordinary and make it sound so neat, that is poetry at its finest.
Pat your self on the back, and take another poetry walk soon!
Happy Anniversary!

***Okay . . . so, I’m a poet! I guess I now know it!
