^votes dont count.

Tik's scale of grade:

Metaphors:
hmm.. maybe next tiem you write, replace the word/topic with another word to add some deeper meaning. make people look for your metaphors. i got it a lil too easily, shadows were the evil. big deal, make me think. (just not as much as deacon.)

Imagery:
one of your higher points. it was well done but not as good as it could be, expand your vocab.

Originality/Style:
Hmm. i liked your style, not having a rhyme scheme set you apart. Even the best of poems need not rhyme. Your originallity was lacking, you repeated the word shadows 3 times within your first 5 lines i think, thats over half. try to not be so blunt and obvious.

Overall:
Good piece, nice short, easy to read.
On a scale of 1-10 id have to rank it an 5.5
