Hi Bodhisattwa Parekh,

This is a fantastic poem. The tone is formal. It suits the poem and subject matter very well. The poem is about the dreams you had for when you grew up and how they changed. The reader is delighted with the look they get at you as a person as well as a writer. They will read to the last word. The free verse works well in this poem, and you have handled it very well. There is a wonderful rhythm here. 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.
