One thing I noticed was that you used a lot of rhyming as well as assonance (assonance being when the vowel sounds of two words rhyme). For example, in this stanza (group of 6 lines) below, the words "us" and "lust" rhyme using assonance, while "lust" and "must" is a perfect rhyme (the words differ only by the first letter):



I also commented on the number of lines in each group of lines, or stanza: you use a group for 4 lines, then a group of 6 lines, then another group of 6 lines, and then you repeat this again by using 4, 6, and 6 lines, to create a pattern. I like the fact that there is structure to the poem.

So, hopefully what I wrote all makes sense now! --Erica
