by The Mutt
At first I thought the repeating lines were overdone, but they do form an interesting structure whereby the two refrains you have been alternating come together at the very end. Your style is a little detached for my taste, but there is no denying the power of this poem!
This is really great, Mutt. To have the balls to jump in the ring w/ Dylan Thomas, and then to do it so well! This one's a keeper... Thanks!
I'm guessing this is fresh from the villanelle thread. :) You did a great job with it.
