Damn Leanne,
thanks for the thought on this. When I write mostly don't know what the hell I am doing,
so poor poetry or not, it's nice to see it acknowledged as a poem!
Appreciate the comment. >

It is a poem that can be, and has been, critiqued.
I would like to remind all members of this thread for those new to critique, or those who might do well to brush up on it, particularly this section:
Quote:Remember that this is not your writing. Ask yourself what the author wants to achieve and how best that goal can be met within the existing framework of the piece. Do not attempt to impose your own style on another writer; a good reviewer will in fact impose the writer’s style on him/herself for the duration of the critique.
