This really is interesting. Reading it makes me want to know the story behind it.
They are quirky and understated. This is no exception. Quite nice.
I do think it should be "borne" not "beared" in the first line, though.
interesting read, thanks tess for the finger point~ <grin... nice write.
I love your skill with understatement as well, and when you repair the first stanza, this poem will show it off too, I think.
The verb in the first line is obviously incorrect, but there's more wrong with the first stanza than that. It doesn't read well, even if you fix "beared." I think perhaps the word "While" needs to be removed as well.
Your poetry is excellent, IMO - this first stanza was a slip up. Just fix it, and move on. :)
