Hi! Here to make a review!
Before I get into details, I just wanted to point out the title. “The tower” is not such a fitting title for this poem. Well afterwards, it may be just a metaphor for something else- but if it is, I don’t know what. I also don’t understand the use of that first stanza. Maybe to set the setting or give a little description of surroundings to put us into the mood of your poem. I’m not quite sure what your aim was with that first part; but when I read that I thought the next stanzas would all be the same. So yeah, compared to the other stanzas, the first one is quite different. The last bits are nice, and the whole plot unfolds slowly but surely. I wasn’t disappointed in reading the end. Maybe a bit of the thoughts in the protagonists’ head would’ve been nice, but I think the whole idea behind your poem is stark description- so thoughts would’ve sticked out as a sore thumb. So yeah, nice poem overall.
