Hi Lee,
This is a fantastic poem. The tone is formal. It suits the poem and subject matter very well. The poem is about an entertainer who finds themselves in an embarrassing situation because they are so frightened of getting in front of a crowd. I am hoping that the person in the poem will try performing again. I read to the last word to see if this happened. I loved this poem. The free verse works well in this poem, and you have handled it very well. There is a wonderful rhythm here. The poem flows extremely well. It is a pleasure to read. You have not used punctuation in this poem, but this does not interfere with the flow of the poem. You have used grammar consistently here. There is nothing to distract the reader from their reading pleasure. Great job.
