Did you know, dear trochee that your title is the same
as a Mary-Kate and Ashley flick?
THAT, is pretty funny.
This poem is alright, but I stumbled on certain areas throughout.
L7: staring my nervous hands?  I don't get it.  "staring at nervous hands", better.
But I love the capricorn thing and lines that follow to 12.
L15, 16 just confuse to me, and the end is lovely.
Anyway, good job.

well lines 15 and 16 :

since she will be married soon ... and if i touch her after the formal ring (marriage) people would question.
 — trochee

This was pretty darn good, except I think it because weaker in the last stanza. The lines seemed less coherent to me. I'm probably just misreading it though. And, you keep change in a watch? I've not seen a watch like that. Good work.
 — MrChris

thx maryH, jenakajoffer, MrChris

made some changes in the last stanza.. i hope u like it now.
 — trochee

And i didnt knew a movie with that name starring Mary-Kate and Ashley

I thought New York Minute means 'Blink'.
 — trochee

This is so cute. I really like the title too. I think you can cut the date and the time from footnote.
 — unknown

I didn't mean to offend with the movie ref, i was just buggin' you.
=-)

 — timsworld

hmm that means you understood the poem well!
thanks for reading.
 — trochee

last two lines=incredible.

wow
 — themolly

This one's not for me Trochee, I'm afraid I'm becoming rather a fan of poetry that says something immediate to me, and I can't get any concrete images from this really. That's probably more my problem than yours.

The ellipses don't work for me, perhaps it would be better to seperate those three lines so they stand alone? They certainly stand alone as being the three best of the poem.

Hope you're well mate,

Sadly enough, I immediately thought of MK&Ashley as soon as I saw this poem. God.

P.S. I enjoyed this.

How did a load of rubbish like this get the top rated, have you got extra accounts too
 — unknown

What’s it like living in Flatbush, you must feel at home there.
 — unknown

hmm now that should relieve you a little.

I read this poem eons ago, but didn't comment. This poem is filled with unattached adjectives and phrases. It's discordent and hard to follow. Not worth reading a third time. ~Henry 6/10
