Torn

Hello Pickles, There is a lot to like about your post for me. I particularly enjoyed the nautical theme and the aging progression. The last line rhyme scheme was refreshing as well. I think you may be able to do something different or with that first line repetition, as you did in the last stanza. One approach would be to humanize it, since you state that you are the rope. Something on the order of birth, growth, aging and expired, e.g. ‘I am born a rope’ etc. It could work for the piece. Perhaps a thought to consider for your next edit. Nonetheless, it works as is. All the best and welcome to the site./Chris
