Oh how perfectly sad this poem is!

Title: The title works very well with this poem.

Tone: The tone is solemn throughout. The emotion of this poem develops slowly through the poem, as opposed to it all being revealed at the beginning. This allows the reader to feel with the woman as the baby crosses over.

Imagery: Likening the "sleeping" baby to flowers is very effectively done. My favourite lines are line 2, because it shows the tenderness in the private moment between mother and child, and the last line. This line is totally emotional and tugs on the heart strings.

What doesn't seem to work: I was distracted by incorrect uses of semi-colons and ellipses, and the seemingly forced rhyme at the end of line 4.

Overall impression: This is a wonderfully emotional poem, a well written composition of a very sad event. Well done!
