This is very interesting. Good job!

Nice. I like the names of all the people mentioned - they're pretty unique. Style was good, too.

Wow, really good. The flow is amazing, and I loved the use of all the poisons, really clever stuff. I could read a whole book with this subject, style and characters (I'm reminded of Beowulf for some reason). Keep it coming.

I always enjoy it when I read something where I haven't seen anything like it before. You have avoided any kind of awkwardness that can come from rhyme by giving it an etherial, slightly morbid quality. Using the names of old plant-based poisons adds another layer of interest. I like the way you start in the interrogation room and work backwards through the events to eventually show some sympathy for Oleander.

Just one typo, I assume the period in the middle of 'atone' in the third last line was not deliberate?

Well done, fascinating little gem of a piece.

I liked the descriptiveness of this poem but I also disliked how at times it was too storylike.

This is gorgeous. I love the part with the names and the end.
