The poem seems kind of technical to me. The kind of thing where something's gone too far and its initial spark has long since burned out. But you might be going for that geek-chic cannabis buzz. Like if that guy from the Big Bang Theory was forced to write a poem while under the influence. Or maybe a Coleridge poem written in a dialect and modern understanding alien from Coleridge. The lines seem nothing but conventional. If only you were carried away by a fresher insight, you could start getting around to your rhyme and meter. Rhyme and meter mean little without fresh sounding poetry.
Thank you for your response I greatly appreciate it. I take it all as a compliment, because you've hit the nail dead center with the hammer. People have often described me as Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory, and I was most likely under the influence. To this I say, Do you know me? Do You? Just kidding. Not sure I get the alien Coleridge reference but thank you nonetheless. And as to fresher insight , yes I have more poems I just didn't want to post my good stuff first and look like i was making backwards progression.
