Hello! I'm an inexperienced poet so whatever I say in this review is probably complete and utter nonsense, but I hope some of it is vaguely helpful.
First thing:
Loved the structure. I heard recently that poets are often artists and I feel this piece reflects that.
Second thing:
I'm glad there isn't much punctuation in this. It just makes it flow much more easily. Which is why I'm wondering what the purpose of the dash after the first and is for.
Third thing:
I read this aloud pausing whenever I had to draw breath. It sounded amazing, as if the words were just spiralling out of my mouth.
Last thing:
The only bit I didn't like was "I want to fly and I do". I think the line "I want to fly" makes it feel like you long to fly but can't, and then when you say that you do it contradicts this.
Overall, great poem. Loved the imagery and style, the format was clever and I look forward to reading more. Keep writing!
