Beginning or End

Pretty complex poem. I honestly didn't like the first half. Maybe it sounded too objective and too "scientific". Personally I prefer using scientific terms to describe something non scientific. You seem to have done the opposite, but that's a personal preference. I think It's well made, especially the part where you compare it to a wolf, kind of a personification I think. That's a beautiful way of seeing black holes. It also feels like it has a circular structure because the last verse is connected to the title. Good job! keep writing.

This was an interesting read. However, I have one major criticism: it feels like you took three different poems and tried to make them into one poem. Each stanza feels like it could have easily come from a separate poem or have been the basis of a poem on its own. The result is that it leads to a somewhat disjointed experience; if not in theme, then certainly in style.

I like the idea of this poem. I think you should definitely repeat the “got too heavy” line at the end to put it all together

Interesting stuff, I read in other comments you went in not knowing a lot about poetry/writing and I think you did a decent job
I think the repetition of "got too heavy" is interesting, I think you should've tried to carry that through the rest of the poem (with different lines of course)
I hope you keep writing, I look forward to your further efforts
