This utterly, an amazing poem.
Excellent phrasing, perfect word choice, such a missed classic style Ive seen in few of my favorites on here.

Loved the way you started and ended this, had an amazing twist, loved every single line and its metaphor!
Very deep and awe-ing.

This should have been highlighted earlier, never came across it.

Well done anyway !

While reading this, I get images of being back at school reading an anthology text book, listening to my teacher tell us how to best analyse the piece. Your style is so classic, in some ways old school with a modern twist. I guess it just feels homely and familiar to read something of such perfection, like it's a famous writer's piece.

Niice Loved it :)))
