Hi Hrafnar,

This is a fantastic poem. The tone is formal. It suits the poem and subject matter very well. In the poem, a couple sees their marriage dissolve when the emotional needs of the couple are not taken care of. I am hoping that this couple will stay together and appreciate their union. I read to the last word to see if this happened. I loved this poem. 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 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.
