Sometimes it's much easier to review if you have good templates. I've poached these from around the site, and tweaked them so they worked for me. I'll post them if anyone wants them!

Hello there,

I'm Mastiff, and I'll be taking a look at your work today. I have to be honest, I'm not a poet, don't know much about poetry, and the rules are much different than other writing. So take everything I say with a grain of salt, or a winter bag of it, knowing these are just my thoughts. I won't do much as far as technical corrections, unless I see something that really sticks out, because the rules are just so different. Thanks for sharing your writing!
