Thank you for the critique, Billy, on all four poems. Most of your comments make sense, and I agree with most of your suggestions, eliminating words like "and" breaking up sentences with a comma here and there; essentially, I think what you're telling me is to go over the poems and eliminate whatever is unnecessary and, as a result, would make the poems stronger. You've used the word enjambment a few times--there's a word I've never used, perhaps I'll write a poem about that word--I do see what you mean overall and I agree with you; however, with some of the lines my intention was not to give the reader a breath.
Thanks.
Jim
