Firstly, I like the fact that this foreign poem is translated in English. I also like the translation of the poem in itself. In addition, I really adore how you, the poet, can bring me back to memories of my younger life among family and relatives; needless to say, I am very impressed with your choice of words here.

I must also say that even though this poem could have been a little bit longer it still sends a message of salvation and bondage. And even though some things in the poem seem to throw things together like a salad it also condenses it to a bowl of unforgettable reminiscence.

With that said, I give you a 4.5 on vision, a 4.5 on originality, a 4 on technique, and a 4.5 on impact, giving you a grand total of 17.5 out of a possible 20. You did an amazing job with this, by the way, so big ups!
