Hi, Beautifully worded with intriguing and complex images and metaphore, great that you used 'iterate' rather than the sloppy, ' reiterate.' The iteration of,' velevet petal softness,' also works well, this piece speaks both of tragedy and wisdom, good job! DC

Whoa. I wish my vocabulary was as vast as yours.

love the rhyming, but i think all the long lines were a little distracting & how you had to order some of the lines in that inverted sentence order was awesome but it kinda broke flow. really nice work, though.
