I scored this a full 100 but I find it hard to see the connection between discarded clothing and skylark singing. Having said that I did like this, well, enough to give it 100.

your use of metaphor is wonderfully executed-- this poem, simply perfect. My heart aches.

I liked the poem as an entity, I accept the skylark thread as surreal, but I don't really like the title. Maybe the title is part of the contest.

I think the clothing/skylark simile is poorly considered, forced and unnatural. Otherwise, I think the poem was well-executed. Again, I find your voice light and unobtrusive, easy to like.
