Hi B. Tels,

This is a fantastic poem. The tone is formal. It suits the poem and subject matter very well. The poem is about a time in your life when you felt alone in the world but realized that you were not. The reader is delighted with the look they get as you as a person as well as a writer as they read. I loved this poem and 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.
