I'm here to recritique! Yay!


So, I read the new version, most of it I liked. I read the old version for comparison. Stanza 1: I like the old version better. (And were you missing "The" before "confines" in the newest edit?)

Basically, that is all I have to say. I don't know what happened in my brain for me to get it, but reading the first stanza, I got it. Then I read it again. And I got the majority of the poem.

I'd say the only stanza I didn't get is 3, but I like it so =)


Sorry I can't say more? I enjoyed it this time over. Odd, isn't it?

oh my gosh I absolutely adore this poem...

"off death-dates shunned." that line kind of messed up the flow...

Other than that, none of the lines really bothered me flow-wise.



So, please, oh please, we beg, we pray, go throw your TV set away, and in its place you can install a lovely bookcase on the wall.
