I agree with Katherine. Most great poetry I’ve seen tends to walk a fine tightrope, with extreme ambiguity on one side and extreme straightforwardness on the other. And to me, this piece is leaning towards too much straightforwardness.

Here’s something else to consider: what kind of poetry does Story Embers normally publish? I don’t necessarily have an answer for you on that, but I think it’s worth thinking about and then taking a hard look at what you’re thinking of submitting. That’s not to say that publishers only publish pieces that are similar to what they’ve published before, but they usually do.

Can’t wait to see where this goes! Keep it up.
