Hi Beholden,

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 someone who is admonishing his friends for their misbehavior. I am wondering what the friends did wrong. I read to the last word to find out. I loved this poem. 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. You have used the word "impish" in a very creative way. Great job.
