    Really like this poem! You've put in some creative metaphors without cluttering the poem with them, and stayed focused throughout (one of my issues, heh). Your title's a bit wonky ...

    This was neat! It's evident that it appeared to be a story; stream-of-consciousness tends to be less clear, so if you want to make it more poetic I'd say create ...

    Interesting... this sounds like the opening credits song to a show. The imagery was so-so: not bad and certainly very appropriate to the topic, but somewhat passe/run-of-the-mill. However, your positi
