It is a little heavy on the 'I' point-of-view. I would try to find simple rewordings to include the narrator's presence without revealing the narrator too much.
Brad, if you are going to crit a poem, at least do it in a manner the rest of us can understand. The scholarly language only goes so far, dear. It doesn't come across as intellegent, it comes across as pretentious. In its current form, your critique doesn't have much of a chance of reaching the author. You may have to rewrite it in a manner that is inviting, or perhaps friendly. Keep working at it, though. None of us have achieved a perfect critique yet, nor are we likely to.
