This is a great poem. I love the attention to wordplay and alliteration, particularly evident in the second stanza ("trek up the trellis of my tangled tresses"). And your final two lines wrap up your entire message excellently. I feel as though the third stanza is out of place; it falls a bit flat for me, especially succeeding the second stanza and preceding the ultimate meaning in the fourth. Perhaps there just needs to be a bit more substance in that passage. Regardless -- great work.

I love this!  This is such a unique way to describe conformity -- it focuses on just one aspect.  I love how in-the-moment it is.  Also, I don't know if you meant to do this, but I love the assonance with the "eh" sounds in the first two stanzas.  Great job!

That really caught me.  It had such a smooth flow to it.  When I read it the first time I got to the bottom and realized I had lost track of the original subject until you tied it back together at the end.  It seems, as I said, smooth and compact, like a tidy little loop of conversation.  Did you spend a lot of time editing this, or did it just come to you all at once?
