Hi BoopCutie,

This is a fantastic poem. The tone is filled with anxiety. It grabs all the reader's attention and makes them want to read on. The poem is about someone who has gone through emotional pain and is concerned that they will pass on the effects to their children. I am hoping that the speaker will realize the control they have over their own reactions and not worry as much. I read to the last word to find out. I loved this poem. The free verse works well in this poem, and you have handled it very well. There is a wonderful rhythm here. The poem flows extremely well. It is a pleasure to read. You have not used punctuation in this poem, but this does not interfere with the flow of the poem. You have used grammar consistently here. There is nothing to distract the reader from their reading pleasure. Great job.
