    Thank you so much for all your help guys. I'm working on a longer hopefully better version right now that I'll probably post sometime this week.

    The first two stanzas may be slightly cliche, but I like them. And as you've now read many times, the last stanza is amazing. As for the middle four, they ...

    I like it, but you should punctuate appropriately for better fluency.

    That is a really beautiful poem. You wrote it really well. I liked the theme of how eagerness can destroy caution, and destroy the goal.

    Awesome poem! I especially like the 3rd and 4th lines of each stanza.

    So all the punctuation was already said. In addition, I don't find the rhythm to be very fluent. It jerks around a lot. Don't give up though. Your message is ...

    Wow. That really strikes something in me. Good job. And I don't think it's necessary to add an 'A' before folded. The lack thereof makes it stand out, but I ...

    Thanks. I'll consider lengthening it. Originally it was just the first two and last two lines, but I knew that was too short. I was able to stretch that out, ...

    Thanks. It's not a haiku though, but that's okay.

    Adding punctuation would definitely be good. That will help the fluency greatly. Other than that, I really like the poem. I can relate to it somewhat.

    It's interesting, but kind of confusing. It makes a little more sense as you read further, though.

    It's okay, but I think the words could carry more meaning. They feel kind of hollow. It jumps around a little, too, instead of flowing.

    Cadmium is right. Any rhymes in that poem are unintentional. The season thing: I don't know where it came from in my mind exactly. Some sort of analogy for cycles ...
