Please note that specifics are much more helpful then generalities. In both writing and critiquing.
Example- I liked the rhyming pattern of the poem" as opposed too "it sounded nice"
If nothing comes to mind, a few suggested comment areas could be character development, the characters in general, the plot line, the setting of the story/poem, dialogue, What interested you? What bored or confused you? Grammar could be included in revue, but it is content comments are generally more helpful.
Criticism is a good thing. To a limit. Don't overdo it. That will just make the writer feel bad about their piece, include a few niceties for good manners, at the very least.
