A new job is a contest posting where the poem had to use certain words, which the poet highlighted. That made the readers who might not have read the rules aware of the challenge. I noticed St. Johns, NL. I used to do investigations for a company with a call center in St. Johns, so I have been there.

The author did a great job using the words of the prompt! I found these
words exciting and grateful for getting a job that fills one's needs and
also helps others. The theme of this has a positive tone. The poem flows
and connects well. The artwork is awesome! Great Poem!

Thanks for highlighting the required words. That helps the reviewing process a great deal. Perfect beginning to a new job. It doesn't always turn out that way.

Nice

You are lucky in two ways. First you found a job you're actually happy doing. And second, you are talented enough to write this awesome poem about it. That really makes me smile. Great work!

You have done a fine job of using the required words while also discussing your new job. Finding work you like and you are good at is challenging. Your rhythm is smooth. My only criticism is that you used ME as an end rhyme in consecutive lines.

You worked the heck out of those words. They fit seamlessly in your completed poem. It would be nice to have them bold or a different color so the reader may see how well you have done. The font size for me could be larger. A visual would also add to this writing. Good luck in this contest.

You've composed an excellent entry for the Use These Words contest. Your well-written write captures all the emotions of starting a new job. Your rhyming is perfect and flows smoothly. All the required words are well placed in context.

All the best in the contest,

Eugene

Note: You may want to capitalize the i in the first line

When I started my new job as ward clerk (i) I was nervous and uptight.

You did an excellent job of telling a story while staying within the parameters of the contest and keeping a good rhythm and rhyme. I would suggest a semicolon after "fulfilling" since it is now a run-on sentence.

Interesting that this is the second poem I've read for this contest and both are about starting a new job! I'm so glad you are helping people and that you enjoy your job! Best wishes in the contest!

One comment:
Wardclerk i was nervous and uptight. (Is "wardclerk" one word? Since you capitalized "i" elsewhere in the poem, I'd capitalize here.)
