    Girl of 5.
    Did you sew together that dress yourself?
    From the wool of a sheep, or the fur of a wolf?
    Which animal's skin did you take so you could
    look good in your Sunday's best?


    Boy of 7.
    Did you fashion that rifle yourself?
    From the iron of your father or the steel of your brother?
    Which gave his heart for your weapon of war so you could
    strike down your neighbor?

    Are you listening, apprecentices of evil? Apprecentices of heroes?

    The wolf sunk it's teeth into the sow's back.
    The babe squeeled.
    The wolf sunk it's teeth into the sow's back.
    The babe squeeled.

    The shallow dress of the angel wasn't the comfort I'd had expected.

    Abandon your arms.

    Red and blue sirens , Red and blue sirens.


    That's what friends are for.

      ...I've never read Young Goodman Brown, so I guess that's my problem, because I don't get any of the allusions that you are trying to make here. I guess I should probably go read at least a syonopsys of it before I try an dmake a critique of this piece, but it's amateur poetry, and I'm an amateur, so what can I say.

    I like the diction and phrasing in most of it. At parts, it can be a little cliché, like the first stanza, with the wool from the sheeps/wolf skin.

    Maybe it's just that I havn't ever read the source material, but that's my opinion.

    Wishing for more

      They had red and blue sirens in the 1800's?.
    Regardless, though, I appreciate your irony and sense of humor. Those things seemed lacking in most analysis, as I recall from back in college.
    Good job taking on a monumental task-Using the title of a major work and all the expectations that carries along with it....................
    Though maybe it doesn't seem so after 967554346788765 readings of literary analysis on Young Goodman Brown.
    I doubt that Hawthorne is turning in his grave, though he might hope you enjoy the original, sans analysis... and the other transcendentalists, as well.
