Hi Kit,

This is a fantastic poem. The tone is aggressive. It grabs all the reader's attention and makes them want to read on. The poem is about letting yourself feel close to others around you. It reminds me of a person in my life. He doesn't share much from his life and seems to avoid getting emotionally close to others, even those in his own family. I loved this poem and read to the last word. The rhyme is well done and consistent. It gives the poem a wonderful rhythm. The meter is consistent from line to line. The poem flows extremely well. It is a pleasure to read. You have used punctuation and grammar consistently in this poem. There is nothing to distract the reader from their reading pleasure. Great job.
