All and all I really like this piece a lot. The few comments just kind of stand out to me as something that could be looked at. However, I might be searching for some critique. I just figure it's nice to hear how strangers judge the flow because it's hard ot judge it in your own work sometimes.

Very nice, Baron. A visual treat to the eyes and mind and a nice ditty.
I do agree with toccoto about the flow of S2 L1-2. I think if you want to keep 'Irony' on it's own line, maybe consider breaking L2 and having 'not lost' on it's own line also?
Personally I'd go 'Irony not lost' as the opening line but I think you want that 'Irony' solitary?
I have no problems with any of the rest flow-wise.
Hope this helps.
A good poem nonetheless.
Regards
Jack

Baron the S3 erosion/erase bugs me no end. Could it be that the source of the erosion should be named and then its act to erase? In other words, there is no thing as erosion except after its occured - if that makes sense.

Good read.

Another good one, Rob. Only problem or nit for me is the repetition of Jaun-les-Pins in the second stanza. It's as if you fainted! Only for that bit though  .
Really good and enjoyed. |
