@slim vapor Congratulations, well done. You wrote seven stanzas, all of them quatrains, crossed rhymes, with a few exceptions: body/else in the last line, useless/letter earlier. Seems like 4 to 6 stresses each verse. Progression from Oh stranger (twice) as the stanza opening , then Oh capn, (twice), then Oh father (once as a stanza opening, then again later).

fiery notch
You pick up “Oh father” at the start of the last line of stanza 6. Progressively greater intimacy, am I right? Stranger, capn, father. The hands have been important throughout but in the last stanza it is arms. Am I getting some of it?
