I love how you publish old poems. I have loved poetry since I was thirteen and read Sonnet 18 in Readers’ Digest. When this poem was published I was 20. I’m so glad I lived to read it!
This is definitely proper poetry. Especially that final disguised rhyme. Short, sweet, lovely, sad, old, depth, yet skeletal - says more than what's on the page.
9.75/10 from me. Buy me a bag of lemon sherbets and you can have the extra 0.25
Love these lines:
I am a stranger
learning to worship the strangers
around me
They really capture the verb-ness of poetry. Bringing it from poetry to poeming
