Hey, Lexi

[Weeded]

Did you hear? Freckled boy’s off early 
My first thought is this is coming from a young girls perspective- perhaps she would have a crush on freckled boy
Heading northward, filling new faces with mirth
When I hear the word mirth I think of laughter, yet when I hear it in this context it sounds like a food dish
Back by the thaw with fresh zeal
The word thaw adds to the idea of food again. you're describing a person's interest?
Impressive, thought it doesn’t interest me

Smoke-braided girl grew! Inky cotton swirling skyward
Seasonal tempest, ebbing closer, farther, closer,
farther still, towards the celestial throne room
But hey, I could have beaten her there

Surely, mouse boy remembers our scavenging days
Is mouse boy the same person as freckled boy or is this someone new?
Dumpster side rendezvous were my favorite! Though
not Redwall troupe’s taste, neither his
That’s fine, I didn’t need him anyway

Who didn’t give the lazing lioness berth?
Bounding through caramel savannas, roaring at whim
She might relish in her pride
But I never feared her


I still envision the black ice man
One night, losing everything, frozen in childhood
Gliding from skyscrapers, guarding peace. I’m sure
I could remake his glossy-page dynasty

You could too, right? The invincible cheetah
who cheated death and outpaced it still
Neither churning waters stained red
nor splintered bone could slow your stride

Astonishing, breath-taking, but I have you beat:
You could never run from your problems half as fast as me

I'm afraid this poem might be over my head or something.. Basically what I got from it is the first stanza describing a human but I'm not even sure if the smoke braided girl or mouse boy are humans either.. I almost catch the feeling of a narrator whose bouncing back and forth between an encyclopedia on animals and a place where they're reading it. You have a very wide vocabulary and you seem to implement your word usage very creatively. A little more direction would make it an easier read, however.
