Wow, what a lovely slice of chaos you've cast into the world. I live on another continent and I'm left feeling a little guilty, shuffling my feet, wondering if it's somehow all my fault. The poem starts off a little stilted but then its natural flow cuts in and your talent shines through. I think if you cut out the first part, and start the poem instead at- Oh in due time... it will make it a much stronger piece of work. The first nine and a half lines are okay, but without them, the poem hits the ground running and doesn't slow down until you're done. Sorry for waffling on. Mostly brilliant. |
