A poem I wrote has been featured and criticized by a poet I respect very highly: Angel Uriel Perales.
The poem is The Train Out of Bangor, a favorite of mine.

Post-Script. In the poem look at two things: The use of slant, or half rhymes 'Bay/gain' 'heart/hurt'. I love these types of rhymes because they exact a little more effort from both the writer and teh reader. And, that seems to add an extra, emotional spice to the verse. Second, the use of place. Where are we? We're travelling, not just physically, but also in our relationship. So look for allusions and direct references to movement, place, and geography. KJH 3/3/12
