    First off, I am completely open minded for this. I have several pieces written this way, but I haven't posted them here yet.

    First Stanza- The beginning (first line of the poem) is brilliant. After those words, I just had to continue reading. It's like telling a retrospective story, and it's also so powerful as a metaphor.
    The first stanza is my favorite one. I love every line. The wording seems simple but it created such effective atmosphere. I like the hint of narration, too. Whole first stanza seems so mysterious, and I couldn't wait to see how it continues.

    Second Stanza- "touched me lips"-- did you mean "touch my lips".
    I think that you should put a semi colon after "I told him once", because it becomes so powerful with longer pause there when it's read out loud.
    Overall, this is great continuation of the piece. At first, I thought that the repetition could be done better, but when I read it twice I realized it shouldn't be changed, it's effective as it is. I like the imagery here, too. I like how you developed the story from the first stanza.

    Third Stanza- I find this interesting. Whole poem sounds like some nightmarish dream to me, and this part fits that interpretation, too.
    I don't like the repetition of 'door' in the first line, because you have the word "doors" again as the ending of the stanza. Other than that, it's quite powerful.

    Fourth Stanza- I like this. I don't know why, but it made me smile. I certainly didn't expect it to end this way, but the surprise factor is a good thing lol I like how you connected it to previous stanza with rhymes.

    Overall, I like this. It is different as you said, but definitely in a good way.

    Not Poetry? I don`t know about that, I loved the piece genuinely. I have written things that aren`t done by specific forms or guidelines. I thought this was truly a great poem, revolving doors, a great title indeed. Timothy r
