    Wow. I can't really leave constructive critism as I don't write much of this type of poetry myself. But I really liked the image you created. I didn't see the picture until after I read it, and it was perfect for the picture. Good write.

    I like it. It's unique in it's idea and the imagery you've put together. I don't think grows needs to be spaced out (but it's funny I should say that with my user name ).. I'm curious to see what the prompt was..

      Thanks.
      I'll have to play around with it a bit and see whether or not the spacing adds anything. I am also reconsidering the "..." now. It's a work in progress so I appreciate the honest critique.
