My Daughter

Stand up from the crust:
O my daughter! Forbid a stranger's thrust
An ally that called himself our father,
Under his wings we wither
For they will be filled with laughter;
You should remember that they are strung together:
Like pearls,
And each one leads
To the next: the second doesn't stand alone
It grew out of the first that precedes its phone,
We're marching to Zion with a throbbing beat
Beautiful, beautiful Zion's heart,
We're marching upward to Zion's gate.

Hello.

What did you think of my title? I like the title, although its a bit over-used.

How was my language use? Generally good, although I see a lot of incorrect punctuation, and some grammer that makes no sense, like:
"Under his wings we flatter:
For they will be filled with laughter;
You should remember that they are strung together:
Like a pearls,"

"flatter" makes no sense, The colon : is unnecessary, and "Like a Pearls is bad grammer.

What did you think of the rhythm or pattern or pacing? The rhythym and flow are generally good. They would improve quite a bit if the grammer was better.

How does this theme appeal to you? It appeals to me a lot.

How was the beginning/ending of the poem? They are okay. The ending lines are much better than the beginning.

Is the internal logic consistent? Yes, it is.

Hope this helps.
