Jackie,
Thanks for sharing your poem. I'm no poet, so I'm nobody to offer you a
critique. However, since you asked, I'll offer up these 2 thoughts.
I see that your lines are 8 syllables long, and line 2 rhyms with line 1,
line 4 rhymes with line 3, and so on. In general, this works great, but I
find the first 3 lines of this stanza a bit clunky:
Green's destiny is not a pot
of gold, but lands on trees, a lot
of memories of horseback rides,
After the next 2 stanzas, there's a single asterisk. Is that intentional?
Would I go back? Not on your life.

With darkness, night lights must allay
I enjoyed your poem. Thanks again for sharing.
