Now that's a healthy comment section! Hi. I really liked the story and I like that the ending has a nice partial resolution.
For me these phrases are a little odd and you might rejig them in the redraft.

Wasn't there a competition with the theme of 'Joy'? If there is, I think you could definitely extend this (if extension is necessary). It's a really well structured narrative. I cannot overstate how much I appreciate your 'proper' stories. This...

I really like the poem. I think that the abstract expression in the first stanza is a little distracting, But I think it's great from stanza 2 onwards.
