i love how the first part rhymes, as if to signify that poetry needs to, then later breaks out of the rhyme and almost goes against rhyming.

you definetly got a 5 from me.

I just have to bring attention to these lines,

"Swallow your altar wine,
Ripped fresh from a grape vine."

i absolutly love that symbolism and how you used it. The comparison of flesh ripped from a grape vine was a powerful and exotic image, I really admired those lines.
I also respect that you wrote a piece about poetry and what a powerful and emotional tool it can be. Good job

almost like an ode to poets everywhere... i enjoyed reading it a lot. i particularly liked the part where you question the necessity to rhyme. keep writing. take care:)

Great poem bout poetry so true! I love it! truly amazing! keep it up!

Love, Taylor
