Sorry I haven't had a chance to comment on your foray into poetry Jolly. I am hesitant to say much because I really know nothing, absolutely nothing, about poetry in any of it's forms.

I treat poetry the same way I treat art. I don't know what is technically good or bad but I know what appeals to me and what I like.

I like what you've done. It does what good writing is supposed to do. Create an emotional response in a person and your work does just that. **Applause, applause....**

Again, I am mightly impressed by your talent. :)
