Hi M, neat little poem here, I'm unsure about the line breaks but I see how they can give a juddering effect like a drawbridge going up and down. Also don't need to capitalise every line, just the beginning of sentences.

Cheers for the read,

Thank you for the feedback! I edited my poem and used your suggestions. The drawbridge in this poem, though, I'm picturing a bridge less like a medieval drawbridge and more like the Tower Bridge in London.

Could do with fewer line breaks perhaps
Thank you for the feedback!
