Dark.

I enjoyed this _ref_, and if I had to have a criticism (which of course I don't have to have but I do...) it would be that the use of "Ariel" took me out of the poem. This is likely because I have a 3 year old that sings the songs from the Disney film. Other than that, I enjoyed this reading experience a lot. It made me think of my mortality, which there seems to be a lot of on Hubski these days. Not a bad thing to consider from time to time though.

It could just as easily have been a reference to the fairy in The Tempest. That's the great thing about poetry - you never truly know where it comes from.

I would actually assume that it is. Still, I brought myself to the party and that was the baggage I was bringing.

Thank you! I will take any and all feedback. And with a smile.
