What I tend to look for in poems with refrains is if they have a momentum to them. Too often I've seen these poems be like static photographs rather than movies (if that makes sense). I think you have the sense of what I look for. I especially see it in the misapprehension of warmth that those who hold the peach have. The responses of I am death, or it's rage you idiot (paraphraze
) make this really come to life.
One very minor nit (unless this is another different country different way of doing it thing) I think ice cream is two words.
