i love the last stanza and the first stanza...

i love the circusy theme (i adore circuses as well!)

but i can't really critique this, because...
i suck at critiquing poems.

I really liked this poem; it was more short burst of prose than actualy poetry, but that made it all the more gripping and interesting.
I liked the course this took, and the very excellent last stanza:

"Nineteen knives thrown
And I'm sure
It just looked like bad aim". Beautiful! =)

Great poem, keep writing.
