The emptiness is always there if you cannot find its source, no matter what you try to stuff into its voids, it will not vanish. Nice write WL.

Lines should not be so long that the reader forgets what word you are trying to rhyme.
Use of the word crimson is a sin!

Personally, I do not feel that my lines are too long, they fit a pattern, and at least I used crimson instead of cliched red. But thanks anyhow.

So many prepositions, so little time. And about that, not sure of your capability having read only this, but I'm not won over by the duplicated descriptors:
quite and calm
veiled, hidden
cream porcelain
Less is more, especially regarding images of suicide or cutting - so much competition on the topic. I guess it could be about shaving though...

Sadly, my epiphanys come in single penny doses. My most recent,-as long as you follow, he will lead you anywhere he damn well pleases,- came as a two-center.
You have been blessed. Enjoy.

We made our home like a hedgehog
with wit. For the occasional jig
a stain-glass motif dress
kept up in the loft. A tin whistle
for Andrea, (usually plain Andy).
And a flag:
Orange, green and white, to barter
a jar from the bartender, a laugh.
This St Patrick's

Great. Some of the lines seem a little overwrought or unnecessary:
"They have not been touched for years;"
"Nothing but death inhabits these walls,"
and (maybe)
"I should be finally free
from the presents of this place."
And presents is presence. I think. I could just be extra un-ironic today.

The rhythm of the the first verse I like.
The other verses are too predictable however and the rhyme cower with power is absurdly forced.

No particularly good lines, but the experimentation with style is interesting, and almost comes off.

Would you consider changing the title to something like 'Goodbye, March' or just 'Goodbye' - since you're talking to March. By the way, nice talking to March there.

"milliard"?
Okay, here's the corny hi-i'm-new-to-poemranker review: I almost wish there was more story. What I get is: thank you, leaves, for listening to that terrible thing that just happened and not talking - more than something like: thank you leaves for listening as I'm talking right now, in this sentence, that I'm speaking, which ends right... here. But then I get no clue what they were listening to. Am I so wrong?

but february made me shiver.
with every paper i'd deliver.
and, if you sart it out, "Dear March, " don't you need to end it, "Love, X"?
And, Sal, do not get sucked in by the promises of March, or even those of April. Wait for My. An d then, slow everythng down until you can hear the grass bending. I t still might snow in May; I have seen it.
bring thisone around.

Good, like the first verse especially. Sounds right, metaphor carried through.
Don't really understand the final line though.

Loses its way a bit with the longer verses in terms of rhythm, but overall this is really good. Especially the first two verses. Reminiscent of Auden's lyrical poems.
Personally with something like this, I would stick to a rigid pattern of sounds from the first verse template.

Yes the Irish are a delighful set of gypsy, road tarmacing, incomprehensible, foul mouthed, alcholic, unkempt, US Funded, EU Funded, UK Funded, Catholic bigots. Their terrorist tenadancies are only bettered by the children of Islam as are their views on religous orthadoxy. All hail the glorious misrepresentation of the Irish engendered by the old US. And, they are to be congratulated, heartily, on a flag which contains green, white and orange.
