  This poem is truly something of beauty! The imagery and emotions portrayed throughout are vivid and thought-provoking. The repetition of "one hundred and fifty" adds a sense of urgency and intensity to the piece. The line "Let not the shame of your beating heart kill you-- again" is particularly powerful and resonant.
  
  The mention of dark shadows, wailing, clawing, and growling creates a sense of unease and tension, which adds depth to the poem. The reference to Pholus's gift and the question of how it will be received adds a sense of mystery and intrigue.
  
  To enhance the poem further, you could consider playing with the structure or rhythm to create more impact. Maybe experiment with different line lengths or stanza breaks to create a stronger flow. Additionally, expanding on the themes of birthday and rebirth could provide even more layers to the poem.
  
  Overall, this poem is a striking and evocative piece that leaves a lasting impression. Keep up the great work! more »
