Hi Raven,

This is a fantastic poem. The tone is formal. It suits the poem and subject matter very well. The poem is about things changing whether to rise or fall. I have always looked at change as an opportunity to discover new things. I loved this poem and read to the last word. 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. You have used grammar consistently in this poem. There is nothing to distract the reader from their reading pleasure. Great job.
