There is a lot of lovely metaphor again here, maybe rather concentrated for taking it all in? The chorus is lovely and I liked Enticing the sun into scything the night, starry-eyed very much.

Posted on Sun, 19 Jul 2015
Very cleverly written. I too like acrostic poems, but so often they do feel rather forced, but this doesn't, and the bringing in of the initial letters for each line seems very neatly done. I particularly like the lines Threatening all but...
