Hi poetrygirl! The first line really drew me in. I like how the poem is very graceful and settles into a gentle ending, but the second line is a bit too much and sounds very choppy and not graceful like the rest of the poem. Try breaking it into two lines and use more soft language to keep craddling the reader into that soft ending .good job and keep writing!
