    The only thing I have to say is that the flow is off here and there. Other then that, perfect.

    Woow..i really like the idea of the poem it's really nice..already the title of the poem is a metaphor in a way which makes it very interesting..

    The flow in the poem was pretty good except of in the following stanza:

    "I will swim so very far away
    and force your reel unwind.
    As it represents my love for you,
    and lingers on my mind."

    3rd line kind of stands out..don't you think?? maybe you will find something better for it..

    still i must say it's a good poem!! good job!

    I love this poem of yours!
    The comparison of a fisher's reel to the allure of love is exceptional. Great imagery I may say.
    This stanza beckons to me the most:
    But then I fight and pull away,
    so sick of all your games.
    Angry that your stringer's
    filling up with other names.

    It's amazing how these little words can bring across a bigger meaning to your readers. Good work! 5/5

    The rhyme is what really stood out most to me in this piece. I loved how the 2nd and 4th lines rhymed. Im trying to break out of the standard 4-Line-Stanza poems. But this was a great read.

    Sometimes your gaze alone
    brings me into you with ease.
    Susceptible to your cunning lure.
    You do so as you please.

    ^^my favorite stanza

    Great job.
    5/5 <---couldnt give you anything less for something so perfectly written

    You switched up your rhyme scheme in the third stanza and rhymed still with reel, why did you do that? Then again you rhymed lures with shores and it completely through me off again haha I like the idea though of being hooked by love and trying to fight it but no matter how hard you fight you just can't get away. Good job but I'd look to switch those words for flow reasons and to correct the rhyme, should be easy though so 5/5

    I will search for other spinners,
    and be attracted by new lures.
    Whether coming from the other boats,
    or coming from the shores.

    --- I like this stanza the most, I like the flow of it.

    I thought you meant that you will find someone else... or something like that.
