Strangling Ties Comments

Your use of rhyme in this poem is really remarkable. I never before felt rhyme the way I did reading this poem. Rhyme is not just the repetition of vowel sounds, it's also a thread that connects each rhyming word to another one until you have a tangle of threads and words. And who would want to untangle all of that? It's just like the poem's message about the tangle of emotions, people, problems. You're mixed into that tangle but to try to untangle it would just get you more entangled. Your poem is wise. It knows these ties can be strangling.
