A changeling spirit,
constantly evolving,
revolving around an inner core,
spinning forth legend and lore,
stories and lives
as I come to grips
with who and what I am,
have been and may be.
I am a phoenix:
rising ever above and beyond!

My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines.
THE POEM
The poem was about finding oneself, appreciation, and gratitude.
WHAT I LIKED
The poem strikes a nice balance between hard knocks and inspiration.
STRUCTURE
This is a free form with no apparent rythme scheme.
MECHANICS
I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes. Good use of WDC ML to make the poem easier to read.
DESCRIPTIONS
I liked: "Was one the life-giving water to quench a thirst I never knew I had?" I just loved this water metaphor as it explores a sincere and honest question. Also, the way it is asked evokes a genuine curiosity as to the answer.
PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS
The opening dives right in with 17 years and keeps the readers engaged. The title is a warm hearted fit for the poem. A heartfelt poem that explores home and friendship and offers hope and inspiration. Wonderful expression!
