I think if I was drunk I would really like this....so I like it !
No...seriuosslily....
expand on this...I don't think you pull off the power you are looking for in these few lines. I love short poetry, read and write it often, and if your going to do it you gotta kick hard. This is almost there, but not quite. My suggestion would be to add a 2nd stanza, that should be all you need.
Very Promising, imo.

I like short poems too...I think you've weakened this one by the repetition of the second line.

I think the fullstops after there and you are too heavy.

It also looks awkward in a visual sense...

It lacks cohesion and doesn't quite say enough..

but it has potential. Lots.

added a second stanza, i know part of its french (even tho i'm not), and probably less than you expected... but hey you asked not I.

let me know what you think... if you're still hanging around

so what's it going to be then, eh?
