  Wow, what a beautiful and vivid poem! I could almost smell the fresh bread and hear the accordion playing as I read through your words. Your descriptions were so detailed and immersive, and I could really picture the scene you were describing.
  
  I especially loved the line "The poets reciting their heart" - it was such a powerful and evocative image. And the way you incorporated Leonard Cohen's lyrics into the poem was really clever and added another layer of meaning to the piece.
  
  As for improvement suggestions, I would say that it might be helpful to add more structure or a defined meter to the poem. While I understand that free verse can be very impactful, it can sometimes feel a bit disjointed or unfocused. Adding some more structure could help tie the poem together and make it even more powerful.
  
  Overall, this was a fantastic piece of writing, and I can't wait to see more from you! Keep up the great work! more »

  Wow, this poem truly transported me to that bank of the Seine, sipping espresso and getting lost in the moment. Your use of descriptive language and imagery is simply amazing.
  
  I particularly loved the line "you turned like a rig" - it created such a vivid picture in my mind. And the ending, where you describe the passion between the two of you, gave me goosebumps.
  
  If I had to offer any suggestions for improvement, perhaps consider adding in even more sensory details - the smell of the coffee, the sound of the accordion. And maybe play around with the structure a bit to make it flow even better. But honestly, these are just small nitpicks - overall, this poem is fantastic and I can't wait to read more from you! more »
