Strange that you've asked this on the story feedback board rather than the poetry feedback board.![]()
With so short a poem, you have an extra obligation to get the grammar right. The worst place imaginable to make such an error is in the very first line. Please consider changing "laid" to "lay" if you want past tense, or to "lie" if you want present tense. Present tense makes more sense, as that would be consistent with the rest of the poem.
Otherwise, does "callused hands" really support the notion of "His touch soft and sweet?" Also, I thought it odd that "His identity unknown" and yet at the end of the poem "She whispers his name."
The imagery, emotion, and flow of your poem is very good overall, but it suffers from a lack of logical consistency. It's a very nice poem. I kinda wished it were longer.
Thank you. Are you and editor? I'm a math science girl... I need a good editor.
You are welcome. And yes, I edit. Just don't ask me to edit any differential equations. Whatcha got?
