The general thing I've been trying to do in all of these pieces of writing is build up some interest in different things and then have them converge at the end, and for me that really happens great in the last verse.
I think there's a problem with my trying to conceal that I'm describing Death personified in the first verse
Should I be concerned about the reader having to look back and re-connect them? Isn't that something valuable, potentially?
Or if it reads well is that always better? Does it matter whether it's prose or a poem? (I should do my homework here!)
>either that or there is a connection lacking between the two, and that would only be possible if the assassin is somehow archetypal
>rather than specific, which doesn't appear to be the case
I'm getting confused with what you're saying here because of all the ('inversions'?), I'm not sure what it's called
How would I connect them and still maintain a good converging effect?.. I'll think about it some more
