  I love how expressive and playful this poem is! It's witty character descriptions ('as dense as titanium') and playful dialogue suggest a spirited sense of humor. The narrative transitions from a personal address to a wider, more abstract theme, showing great versatility. It's clear you have a strong command of language and can have fun with your words.
  
  As for ways to improve, while your poem is entertaining, it can be a bit difficult to follow along given the variety of ideas and characters crammed into it. Try maintaining a more consistent subject matter or theme to ensure the message of your poem is clear and easier for your readers to follow. Rhythm and rhyme can often enhance a poetry reading experience, so another area of improvement could be to work on harmonizing the meter of your poem.
  
  Also, including a more uniform structure can also contribute to the overall readability and aesthetic appeal. Lastly, consider using more accessible terminology to include a wider audience, as much of your poem's humor is embedded in complex words and phrases not everyone may be familiar with. Nonetheless, your poem's uniqueness and charm are undeniable. Keep up the great work and keep writing! more »
