Some good lines, a TON of anger...
Cutesy. Villanelles are not easy...
Lovely
Well written, sadness staining every line...
Very cute!
The word I think is perpetuity, not perpetuality-- if trying to coin a new word, unnecessary, annoying-
some good lines-
Some good lines, I like the idea captured.
No comma after "Hunts gone by" I think-
some clunky lines: "experiences, good and bad"-
some very good lines: "sing to my soul of ages gone by" and "Ageless you stand, tall and proud/ Lichen grows upon your surfaces"; uneven rhyme scheme does not help (1st and 4th lines in first stanza, 3rd and 4th lines in 3rd stanza, no rhyme in last stanza.

Some beautiful lines, good ending, like how you carry the idea throughout the poem, the speaker believing the person who killed herself is so much better than he is, right to a very bitter end.....
Reads like headlines but it gripped me all the way through. Love how "Tom" lines and "Mary" are interspersed here and there. You would not think such a poem would work but I think it does! Enjoyed this! Remembered reading some of these...it engaged my thought, had some humor, did make me think! Enjoyable.
Annoyed by so many misspellings. If they were deliberate, they were not useful. Some interesting ideas, imagery
(stampede of cattle, not stamped of cattle)
Cannot conceive of how a wave "suede"s- swayed? What?
Oversized- one word- aftertaste, one word. Do your proofreading before submitting. " a cornucopia" not an cornucopia. "What we'll do tomorrow? Not "What will do". Too many errors detracted from enjoying the poem.
Annoying
Compact, good!
I found this uninspired
Not bad!
Annoying you are using Hsiwej = Jewish backwards
Also, so many spelling errors get annoying to read
made me laugh!
Humorous! Like your last line!
Clever!
