though short, this poem rang with experience and skill. i loved the vocabulary adn the images. (sorry for all misspelling here forward - i seem to be missing a backspace key on my keyboard.) it definitely described pessimism and an otherworld or darker feelings, to which i can relate. "lynch" was a new word for me, too. i guess we learn new things evey day =]
Yes, I have had a lot of people of the younger generation tell me that most of the words dumbfound them. But other than that they found it thoroughly enjoyable.
