What Do You Think Of My Free Verse Poem?

nice idea, unchartered territory in my eyes. Its a poem about drinking to escape. My only criticisms: your term "man from the emerald isle," although better than just man, is still lacking in description and slightly biased against Irish people, like me. Better go with something like " man with flattened ears" (only, don't use that example), or something that would really stick out in your mind and would not be so limiting. Also, the first stanza needs a bit more artistry. It seems to cold and technical. The line "communicates indifference" sounds more like something in an essay than a poem.
