This was a mixed bag. You had some fantastic moments followed by very awkward cliches. It felt like a see–saw, really. First stanza captures precisely what I mean. I would ...

"Eloquence" threw me off for a couple stanzas, but I think I got the gist of it– your alternative ending to the Civil War. There are some thoroughly off–kilter moments, ...

Aw Navita, I wanted you to PM me when you posted something! Anyhow, Evi and kidashka covered their nitpicks.... I loved the first one (let me repeat: absolutely gorgeous is ...
