Feel free to critique.

As the link implies, this is part one of what could be considered a sort of trilogy. I probably wrote all three having been prompted by a friend to begin a regiment of writing sometime before, and these three appeared in a row.

It was more or less a trilogy after the fact, though. I do not believe I intended it to be at the beginning.

It should be noted that this poem is heavily influence by Vergil’s second Eclogue.

The end of the poem has something to do with Dantean philosophy.
