Is it terrible that I only heard about the tsunami today?
I so rarely keep up with the news. I kind of agree with you about the "ess" lines, but I don't know how to replace them without damaging the poem's integrity, if that makes sense.
I'm glad you otherwise like the structure of the piece. To be honest I chose it mostly because I was beating my brains out trying to write a line which didn't seem forced, so ended up in frustration stripping down my style as much as possible.
Thank you for all your kind words. This poem was a bastard to write, so it really means a lot.
