Pretend:

[Philatone]

hey billy,

the tone of this piece is what makes it stand out, as well as the touches to the meter that keep it fresh. in addition to that, I was fond of the word choice; simple things like "while rain berates the door" and ""i'm so grateful to you" struck me as unusual for you. my critiques are small

Come in, take your hat off
and hang that coat to dry....liked the commands
Sit down beside the fire
let's talk of love in wine.

Now hang that coat to dry..the "Now" and "yes" (later on) did little for me in the piece. tasted like filler
pour yourself a vino.
Let's talk of love in wine
while rain berates the door.

Pour yourself a vino
then share your stories do,
while rain berates the door.
Good company I lack.

Please share your stories do,
and in turn I'll share mine.
Good company I lack.
I'm so grateful to you.

yes, in turn I'll share mine.
Sit down beside the fire,
Good company I lack.
Come in, take your hat off
