Wow; although well written, it's a rather troubling topic...Blade to a head...Shudders...I think the language that you used did a good job to explain the time period and the title helped confirm what the poem spoke of. Again short, but great. I liked the rhyming that you used throughout the piece as well. That added to the flow. At times it felt rather repetitive but all in all excellent. (as the other that I had read)
Good work, very old style in its telling which I like. The repetition of the morrow was done well to, only question is why is it rated M? Nothing violent really happens, and more people would read it if you rated it T. Just a thought. Anyway great poem and great work :)
