Euclid's convered content, so I'll focus on format. This seems rather broken-up. One word lines are like potent spices; they can pack a puch but should be used in short-supply. ...

Fix up your flow. And the poll is superflourus at best. As are the exclamation points. Your rhyming scheme is inconsistant, and when it does rhyme, the rhymes are forced ...

I know bumps are frowned upon, but hasn't anyone anything to say about this at all?

I'm not sure if the line-length 'negotiation' you did in the last stanza fits in with true 'ghazals', but it worked as far as this piece goes. Oh, and props ...

My primary issue with this is flow. Read it aloud. You'll find yourself rushing thrugh it in parts--those are the parts that need to be trimmed syllablicly [w00t for poetic ...

So... the man's the dot? Interesting. Perhaps you could've portrayed the man as a bit more tragic towards the end. Your rhyme scheme. It was inconsistent. It worked. [>>high praise] ...

I...can't decide whether or not I liked this. Perhaps I'm reading to much into it... Yes, I'm sure that's it. Mmk... verdict-- If taken at face value, it's an enjoyable ...
