i liked the poem, but somehow, i couldn't understand it precisely, since i am newbie i guess. but from the part which i could savvy, the best lines are the ending ones Every lucky charm did help me, I shall not lie, Why not will someone tell me then, whence will be a good time to die. beautiful lines, with nice rhyme.
