The Talons of Freedom
What happens when my brick rubber bands break-
When that bing-bong-boing quits chanting my name?
When sticky wings elude their refusal
and the Hingeson those closed doors talk?
Now, the last page isn't an ending.
Instead, paper relies on sole bending.
Choose quick! The lost rebellion has grown flames.
Relinquish insecurities;love blame.
Chance is a bitter slay of the right soul
or precious drops of glitter-fate of gold
Waves may caress a desperate, lonely bay
but are the knives and shrills worth the strain?

As for the rest of it, especially the last three stanzas, I liked your poem a lot. I loved the line "precious drops of glitter-fate gold" :). The poem flowed well and uniquely, something which often cannot be obtained at the same time. Overall, while your poem could use some work, it has potential. Keep up the good work! 4/5
