    I really like this.
    The analogy of a fence representing love is really unorthodox. It's not cliche. Which is a good thing.
    Most poems relating to love are using the same old metaphors, I'm glad you've broekn the cycle.
    Nice work.

    I like this 'failed love' poem. Your metaphor was refreshing and powerful. A picket fence, a barrier that is supposed to withstand the hard times. Your fence has failed to do this which shows the reader just how tough this love has been, tough enough to break the inpenetratable fence!
    I also liked the rhyming scheme, although it did not appear to be consistant, faultering in the last stanza. Maybe this was intentional, if so, my apologies! :o)

    A good write 5/5
