  You make the scousers proud with this one. The contrast you establish between the fleeting permanence of physical establishments compared to the ever-shifting essence of what embodies a community, adds a lot to your examination of the "spirit" that embodies Liverpool. The specific references work very well with the cadence of the poem, established through the stanza breaks and rhyme scheme, driving a lot of the changes and shifts the poem examines. The penultimate intentional structure break at the end especially adds a lot to the poem's reflections, almost making the reader want to go back to see if they can spot where things changed for better or for worse. A sentiment many of the working class would echo as the seemingly permanent backbone of the community- where everything seems to change around them, besides their circumstances. Much like modern Liverpool.

  I enjoyed it’s authentic tone, which is difficult to deliver through a conceptual/ rhyming poem.
