Hello all, I took a lot from your critiques. It helped me identify some problem areas. I did a quick adjustment which I'll post shortly. It doesn't answer everything I'm working on but it's a start. I appreciate the help and clarity.
Mercedes, it amazing that that is the topic that the magazine is currently desiring. This needs a bit more work but thanks for passing it on. I would probably like that magazine no matter what I choose to do with this poem. Outside of a few anthologies, I haven't looked to submit anything for about 20 years. I'd have to put aside my own reluctance but I just might especially given the topic.
Oh and Kole, the diamonds part relates to the fairy tale I'm drawing from.
Thank you all,
Todd
