great title! great opening stanza! the editor in me says cut it after stanza three: let it hang rather than spell it out. Let the uncertainty hang

Perhaps you’re right.
I’ve never been great at editing…
Although I’m thinking ‘The Damoclean Sword’ is a great title for a follow up!

thanks for considering my comment; I meant it in the right spirit: if I didn’t care about the poem, I wouldn’t have looked at it with an editorial eye 🙂

No problem at all my friend! 😁
As I say, I do have a tendency to write and post without editing sometimes – so I’m happy to take all the feedback I can get.
Plus it warms my cold, dark heart to think that anyone cares enough about my ramblings to comment – so please… critique away! 😁🖤
