This fit the prompt. It is written in a stiffly formal way. That caused me to detach from the emotional impact of it. I did not and could not feel the love and adoration that is clearly there. That reduced my personal enjoyment of this poem. I appreciate it in an almost mathematical way. It puts a virtual score on each element of the lost love. It adds up to a heart felt piece of writing. Although for me it left the heart somewhere to the side. It is not a bad poem it works for the way it was written, but i personally think that a different tone would have suited the subject better. Of course this is my opinion other people could read it entirely differently. I could be completely off the mark. The tone of the poem could be reflecting an aspect of the relationship I do not know about. Or it could reflect something about the man. I do not know enough about things to really call the formal tone wrong in any way. All I can do is talk about how the poem reached out to me. It was like someone trying to wrestle in a business suit it just does not feel right.
