The Young Man

[eli]

Okay, well, first things first - It's gorgeous. The rhythm, the gentle but nonrestrictive, uncommitted rhymes, it's flowing and fabulous in style.

However, personally, I'm struggling to find the meaning. I will admit freely that this is just as likely my ignorance as it is your poem, but I would wait to hear from a few other people, see if they feel the same way. You may like to expand it a little to give it more context.

Yes, understanding the meaning of this poem is something I had a feeling would be a problem for readers. I'd like to see what other people say (if any more does) before I add more to it, but that is already something I'm thinking about. Thanks!
