    I donno, I don't like it. The wording and flow are awkward at best, the content is snore-riffic, and I don't know, the use of adjectives just seemed obvious. Modifying ...

    I don't know. Rhyming poetry never does it for me. Also the subject matter of this poem is so cliche and overdone... you should find a new avenue. Try sensory ...
