Another interesting poem, full of emotion and hope. Thank you for sharing it. I can see that you put some effort into some rhymes. You didn't keep the rhyme scheme going the whole poem though. The first stanza sticks out with virtually no rhyme, but the others have it a little. The second stanza has it AABBB, third stanza is ABCCC, and last is AAABB. The only reason I comment on it was because it was different. When reading it didn't bother me, or seem out of place. It is just - random. I'm wondering if there was a purpose. To me this poem was working out the speaker's emotions about a friend that they see going down a path they don't understand and cannot follow. For me this felt like watching a friend start smoking cigarettes, or getting addicted to cocaine or heroin. Soon their friends change, they hang around with crappy idiots already destroyed by their indulgence, and you realize that they are not thinking anywhere similar to you. How do you appeal to a friend that sees the world so profoundly different than you do? Or is absolutely unwilling to acknowledge the obvious pending disaster? I'm left at the end of your poem hopeful, the speaker suggests that this person is "whining" probably about the scummiest folk, and that complaining, that opening up to the speaker leaves them hopeful that they'll finally make an attempt to quit whatever they've started. I would love to read more about this conversation where the person is whining, and why it is the "right timing." To me, this is the meat and potatoes of the poem. This is the portion I see most interesting. Maybe details on what makes those "creatures" so "scummy." As always, I encourage you to avoid cliche. Some examples here are: - silver lining - wake up before the end - end up round the bend - must be blind - see things clear This is clearly an emotional poem, a poem of release and hope; and it spoke to me that way making me thankful to have read it. Please take this with all the affectionate feedback to improve. Thanks again for writing and sharing! ![explicate 10.PNG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXzhPKPTZMFqxqci7FR3MnapXd5zKWAHxEVEXXE5UMimT/explicate%2010.PNG)

Thanks @majorx3thom! I appreciate hearing that. I fear that it will be hurtful, but like you say, feedback is key! I hope to provide it in the most helpful, benign way.

I think any person would be flattered more than anything else that you took the time for such an in-depth analysis. Plus constructive criticism is always nice, whether or not you agree with it!

Thank you once again for the awesome analysis you've given me, I can see what you mean when you break it down in the picture, I'll work on my clichΓ©s and try to be more specific, with creatures I wanted to state how intriguing the men were that she dated... I didn't think it through in a sense that would make it more understandable. I've noted a lot of the pointers and will try to use them. Thank you again for all the time and effort you put into this
