  I genuinely enjoyed reading "Naught for Tomorrow" by Chris Commodore. I was captivated by the vivid imagery which paired beautifully with such intense emotion. The vocabulary used paints a rich tapestry of life's heartaches but also leaves room for the idea of moving beyond lost dreams and expectations. I congratulate Mr. Commodore on capturing such complex emotions so beautifully.
  
  The line "Like drunken autumn leaves arrested by the wind" particularly stood out for me as it relies on powerful, poetic imagery to evoke deep feelings of longing. The pacing and rhythm of the poem lent itself well to the contemplative nature of the piece. It reads almost as an introspective soliloquy, which I found to be profoundly effective.
  
  As for areas of improvement, I would suggest looking at the clarity of expression in some places. Understanding the emotional depth of the piece may be challenging for some readers due to the use of complex imagery and language, which may be simplified to make the poem more accessible without compromising its depth. Additionally, the poem would benefit from a more clear and consistent adherence to a specific rhythm or poetic meter.
  
  Overall, this is a wonderful piece that delves into the melancholy, yet hopeful mind. I look forward to more of Chris's work. more »
