    I truly loved the fifth stanza, very strong imagery here. I fell in and out of rhythm in this poem but I enjoyed the story.

    "Even his twinkling baby blues went two shades dim."

    Great picture in this sentence, I felt this line, keep it up!

    I loved the story so much, it's interesting! The last two stanzas are sorrowful.
    A loveable work.

    Listened to "Where did you sleep last night" while reading for full effect. Your other poem I read had a Nirvana feel, too, come to think of it. If you've never read Kurt Cobain's journals, I recommend doing so. It matches some of the tone of your work. The rhyme scheme gets a little weak at a few points, but that is by no means the main focus of this poem. You're such a talented narrator. 5/5

      Yeah, I had a lot of trouble concluding this one, so I rambled a bit. Thanks for the constructive criticism, much appreciated. :)

    Really interesting write Rusheena!

    I have one small suggestion...in rhyming pieces, the flow is pretty crucial so the reader can have a smooth read...to help with that its easier to make sure your syllable count is almost the same in every line.

    I found this poem to be intriguing...and yet, creative since you were inspired by two things to write it. Makes me wonder where his body was? Somewhat creepy..

    well done girl!

      Thanks, Chelsey! I had a really hard time with the flow and rhyme in this one, so I pretty much gave up. But I've been getting similar feedback about it, so I guess it's time to fix it.
