Re: Help me with this poem?
Good poem! The first stanza drags a bit at the commas, and as such seems at odds with the rest; perhaps eliminate the first two and replace them with dashes. ...

Re: ...
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 ...

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
