Ateague38,

I would drop the meaningless punctuation and capitalization in this short poem.

thank you for your critique, Mr. Jordan. I'm honored that you took the time to tell me those things...and if i knew how to edit my poem, i would.

There are little icons above the poem, to the right of " 0 posted [insert time/date] " and to the left of "Inappropriate content?" one of which is an edit/delete icon. If you mouse over them for a second or two the name will pop up. You can edit your poem at anytime from there.

Keep 'em coming, I enjoy reading your thoughts.

Slowly, but surely it nibbles you down to the nub... and then... nothing. Time is an army ant colony on the move. Get out of the way!

I like the idea that you have expressed but I would change the word `deteriorate` to the phrase `They take little ones`  But this your baby so.....

From your posts it looks like you are okay with critiques, so if you are you might want to change that under your your profile.

I like the poem! And personally, "deteriorate" works for me. That's just me though.

I enjoyed this. I also don't see any reason for an apology from you prior...Haikus and Senryus are always welcome. Little nuggets of gold...

Yes, no need to aplogize for this. Although, may I remark that deterioration can be sudden as well as gradual... and so can recovery (be quick or slow), in slightly different ways.
