the lack of cliche and plain prose makes this valuable in a way. But I think it is a bit dull and the olde language is distracting. I can't really grab a line of reasoning from such a dense piece as well

the first verse I will break free to I will be free. Has potential to work but I think you need to use the same repetition in the other verses

a lot of nice idioms in here. And it reads well as a poem.

the beach that used to be a throne is a bit naff though and takes away from the maturity of the overall

varied selection of words and I like your verse structure. However some of the imagery doesn't really lure me into the poem and I think more basic elements of language would help

enjoyable to read, ambiguous yes but with certain bits to hang on to like 'boys ride by laughing on bikes'

nice selection of words. It conveys quite a dreamy feel with the imagery. But I think it lacks something to grab the reader

not a lot of insight here and the description relies on cliche.

Some useful lines

'And poetry is reduced to a general surgeon's warning'

a comment nice and succinct is the essence of poetry for me. This is not a haiku but never mind
