I would not comment about the morals of this piece since you were asking about criticism...Your QUATRAIN verses were well framed and so the succeeding stanzas were great...you have written it meticulously with fine; 1) alliteration 2) assonance 3) internal rhymes 4) end rhymes 5) metaphor This was a nice poetic narration.........great job here...10+++
