The interesting thing about this poem is that only the second and fourth verses are necessary. In fact, those two verses alone would make this a better poem. Normally, this is not the case.

This is a beautifully and flawlessly written poem, Laurena, not something I get to see every day on Poem Hunter.

You clearly held every reader's attention from the beginning to the ending word wonderfully. Carl.
