    This is really unique; I've never read a poem structured like this. I really like the repetition and similes. One thing I'd suggest punctuating your sentences. Even though your poem is spaced out by stanzas, the sentences still run into each other, without short pauses.Either by punctuation or literally spacing each sentence out will work. Other than that, you did a great job. Keep it up!

      Thank you! I actually meant not to punctuate. I don't know if you have ever read e.e Cummings but I typically go after his style. The lack of punctuation, I hoped, would create a sort of chaos. It's supposed to describe md, and life is chaotic. The only punctuation I put in we're the commas, so that I could make it suddenly short -- I think it is called staccato.
      I also used e.e Cummings style by paying particular attention to what I have capitalized. I mean for nothing to be capitalized except for the word "Looks" in the last bit (p&q requires the first word to be capitalized :p) but everything I do (aside from accidental grammar mistakes) is typically intentional.
      Thank you, again, though c:
