			<div style="padding:10px 10px 0px; 5px;"><table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr><td>I really like this as is but I share some thoughts:<br />
<br />
<i>Now go the hell away.</i> Very good use of this line. I&#39;d make it the title unless a specific event or place comes to mind. Like &#34;Workshop, May 32nd, Highway-to-Hell, Nevada&#34;. <br />
<br />
I&#39;d find active verbs for each use of &#39;is&#39; and replace each &#39;the&#39;. Like &#34;May&#39;s sky screams blue; Spring&#39;s sea blooms green&#34;. This provides a season and action, sound, something.  <br />
<br />
Could use a grammar check unless you like it as is. Grammar is less important in poetry; this isn&#39;t an essay. For a definite pause (like for rhythm) you can use an emdash instead of a comma like: &#34;I kid you not &#8212; nature&#39;s obscene,&#34; <br />
<br />
To add &#34;darkness&#34; to it... this is that season...<br />
<br />
<i>Explorers with lost souls explore,<br />
Search worlds they&#39;ve never searched before,<br />
They&#39;ll kid you not &#8212; forevermore,<br />
