Do you mean "snowflake"? I like leaflorn. I think the semicolons can go.

When you use a twist on a cliche in your title, I expect to find some allusion to the cliche in the poem. I like the third verse.

I see a rural harvest time in a hollow, but miss the point, if it's more than that.

I'd rather you did not delete the comments when you make a revision. If you make a major revision, like this one, it seems better to post it as a new poem.
Better than the first.

Very nice. I haven't seen a rabbit-snare in a long time - cruel devices they are. Mate-less could be mateless, I think. Not sure I get the copper part or the wire, when twine was used before - maybe they were caught in a wire fence.

The first three lines don't quite make sense. As it progresses, it gets better.

Fastened to a desk
in an old unused trailer
a pen and paper cup
read like memoirs,
bound there by concoction
of sugar and ten-year-old coffee.
Written by unsteady hands
on an old keyboard,
and rummaged files for lost reports,
thumbed frantically the company phone listing -
hands that no longer toil for an annual wage
but steadily hold the daily tabloid at arms length.
just a suggestion.

Amanda, I hate being the referee who calls an unpopular foul, but thatâs how I feel. You have posted a poem, written in a time of sorrow, that you say you do not intend to edit and which you admit needs editing. I take the poem as heartfelt sentiment for a wonderful grandmother, and for that it is a good poem. But I think the âfoulâ comes when you post it on a site for voting and commenting, because there is little a commenter can say without sounding unsympathetic, and to vote low is show lack of sympathy for your feelings or lack of appreciation for your grandmother. Hope you understand.

I love following someone whom I trust into danger. For better or worse, til death . . .etc. You've caught this well. Leave out "in" in Line 1.

I think you should tell us what kind of pain you are talking about.

Yes I feel this, and agree she's a discredit to the gender. Nice.

I don't like this kind of poem, but must admit you've done it well.

The repeats add little, I think. The idea is good, but needs refinement.

"Vicar rejoicing from the sound of his voice" is great, but "in" seems better. "Choking hypocrit" is telling us what has already been better shown.

How about "statuary" instead of "stationary" to give an added meaning?

Overwritten. Try staying a little closer to reality.
