hello, I'm no expert on what is and isn't poetry, and devices are to be planned and used from the outset, not added in like a spice to your cooking at the last minute.
I liked it - apart from the repetitive now's in the second stanza. Also weird is a bit vague... surely the protagonist is feeling depressed not weird at the start? It's a bit dark, but I liked the idea of 'rising up' from a wrist-slashing suicide into the next life. Not bad for an early effort. Marianne
