Getting The Drop

[azure]

Hi, this is a poem I wrote a while ago (with a couple of slight alterations). Any opinions or pointers would be most welcome.
Getting The Drop
The Sheriff at last had succeeded
In catching the Man in the Hood
The trial was a foregone conclusion
Now Nottingham wanted his blood
But Robin was no common villain
A fellow who never lost hope
The outlaw once more found a loophole
But this time at the end of a rope

Brief, yet more definitive in its expression than some of the other pieces I critiqued here in the Novice Workshop. However it lacked vigor, and suffered because of your drab choice of language. Like Leanne mentioned, the meter of this poem wasn't up to par, but can be corrected by implementing word cuts in some of the lines. By doing that, I think it you could make the poem have more musicality. Push yourself.
