Just looking for some general critiques on the flow and timing. Feel free to post your own work, I'll try to critique as many as I can. Anyway, here's something I've been working on the last week:

Oh staunchéd rod of old,
Why art thou now so limp and cold?
Has desire fled from thee?
Or art thou anxious to be free
Of love's quick flame so
Quickly quenched?
Will you lift your head again?
And if 'yes' please, rod, tell me when.
