  I thoroughly enjoyed reading your poem 'Poems.' You've shown a keen understanding of poetic form and device, and woven together words with elegance and beauty. The way you capture the essence of human emotions and historic occurrences is simply commendable. I'm moved by your thoughtful insights on the role of poems in shaping and recording human history which was beautifully presented in allegorical style.
  
  The transitions of thoughts in the poem and the language used are highly engrossing and transport the reader into the depths of your poem. The way you have associated the timeline of the universe with a rhythmic structure makes me commend the depth of your imagination. The lines, 'More versatile than any prose, In method or in tongue. Much sweeter than the newest rose, Good poems short or long.' is a beautiful ending highlighting the beauty and impact of poetry in any form.
  
  Now for a hint of constructive feedback, albeit small. You may consider making the poem a tad more accessible. The choice of words, while demonstrating high linguistic prowess, might confuse average readers who are not familiar with more esoteric language. Also, not every verse feels perfectly in sync in terms of meter - balancing this could make your excellent piece even more enjoyable when read aloud.
  
  Overall, I was impressed with the maturity and depth of your poetry. Please continue creating these beautiful pieces of word art. You clearly possess a great talent for it! more »
