But that's not to say others will not love this. It's just my opinion...
Where you realize the enemy as a flesh and bone bogeyman, horns and all, easy to identify and lunge at, is really great.
Surely it has some weakness, some ticking-stuffed soft palate
It seems you have two poems on two themes here. The first about a wish for simple answers, the voice musing and detached. The second one sharp and seething. For some reason they don't quite merge as well as I'd hoped, despite a solid attempt.
coming to new poems this morning and agreeing with others' comments and have to do so here, again, with Liar. That center section feels immediate and powerful and I wish the rest of the poem were near as strong. This one has too much potential not to edit, or break off that middle part and work just with that, imo.
