 Midnight In Eden 2008-02-28 . chapter 1Couple things:
1. You don't need the comma on L3, otherwise it makes "and the sun shone" a parenthetic element and makes the sentence construction all screwy.
2. L2 of the second stanza is a bit odd. It's the only "you" in the piece and the idea you're trying to get across gets lost in the convoluted syntax.
3. L5 is almost too blunt. It feels out of tone with the rest of the piece.
4. The third stanza could be four lines instead of two. The flow that had been present in the previous two stanzas gets lost in the two long lines there.
5. I like the last line but it feels too isolated and blunt.
Apart from my comments, I liked the topic and it was a sweet poem, just a bit bland.
