I adore the RESOLUTE tone of this. You take control and don’t let go.

Thank you for your words of encouragement.

A new election year is coming...(That's the message I am getting here.)

[alexanderscttb]

The element to do with election process I felt was one of the more cryptic parts of this, so I'm glad to see it came across in your interpretation.

I absolutely loved this. You made such wonderfully clever decisions in the shaping of this poem. Excellently done!

[alexanderscttb]

Based on what I have read of yours so far, I have to say that I am very thrilled to receive such feedback from you.

I liked the flow from 'ballot' to 'boxing' on the next line. I admit I don't find interpreting the intention of poetry something that comes easily to me, but I liked the cadence and the expectation of word association being what you expected, but also not. It was both settling and surprising.

Hmm. You may have put your finger on something with that. Because I feel that in someway, one of the objects of poetry could be to help make two things which are/seem dissimilar occur at once.
