"Circles" by Meg Yeary

I think this is a very sweet poem. I like the idea of writing about wedding rings--"Affection / In metal form." Actually I really love that line. I know we had a lot of people in class in discord about it, but what I really like is that it is a different way to talk about something that is already associated with too many cliches. Actually, I would be interested in seeing something really come about with this idea. Some other way to look at wedding bands. I like the simplistic language of the poem, almost like the clean line on a white gold band. But I want to see the poem take a different sort of shape--something more unique. I'm also not sure about the title. Is "Circles" appropriate? Maybe something different would be more fitting.
