I love this poem. It has emotion, but not to much to were a person would be overwhelmed. The words flow very well together, and there is a sense of balance to it. That's just my view on it anyway. the layout for your poem is also a perfect match for it, though I'm not to sure the repeated picture works, again just my opinion. The dark red and the lighter red, match well, and while slightly difficult to read becuase of the repeat image, it's tolerable. Anyway don't change it because I suggested you too, change it if you want to. Whatever you decide don't change anything with the poem, because it is wonderful the way it is. Fabulous job.
