Real nice! All of them are a little gem in itself and they are tied together very nicely. The quotes were enlightening too, they are part of the work. I liked this a lot!

I had sort of the same issue with this poem as I forget which of the earlier ones, where it felt a bit heavy on just reciting the plot instead of exploring it more vividly like you did in some of your other poems, but I liked your use of the 'wrong'/'right'/'blind' motifs, the way you tied this back to the title, and the contrast between the earliest poems that really shows the progression/clarity gained from the beginning to the end of the story.

Definitely a nice work overall!

Just want to point out that I appreciate how sparse you were with the dialogue tags/attributes in the last few lines of this-it's so much more effective to only say what's necessary instead of cluttering up the dialogue with extra wordiness or stating too explicitly emotions that would be more effectively conveyed through the dialogue/characters' mannerisms themselves (even I fall into doing this and am still working at avoiding it), and you did a great job here of doing the opposite and conveying the situation and the emotions through show-not-tell.

Oh I always love reading people's stabs at pieces as short as this one-it's so interesting to see how much meaning each writer is able to pack into so few words. I liked the idea here, but same as with the previous poem, I thought it would have worked a bit better if you'd shifted the focus a bit more toward the hints of imagery you included-the 'within'/'around' dichotomy is something that you could have really played with more than you ended up doing.

I wasn't as much a fan of this poem as some of the earlier ones, since it felt a little heavy on linear plot portrayal and not so much on imagery/metaphor/what-have-you. Again, nicely done with the repetition, though (and somewhat ironically, I feel like I'm doing some serious repeating of that sentiment in all my reviews, so sorry for the lack of originality in my comments, lol).

I actually am really enjoying your use of rhyme scheme in these, which especially stood out to me in this poem-and that's saying something, because I'm generally disinclined toward anything but free verse because even in classic literature it tends to come off as corny to me. But I feel like it really works the way you've been using it to tie together like ideas.

Again, really liking the repetition, in this case of the quotation and the second/last line, and especially the way you've incorporated repetition of themes even from earlier poems in the series in specific phrases. However, I did get a bit lost with your narrative style here (who was 'he' or who was 'I' or if they were the same person, which would be really interesting if they were but you didn't tip us off if that was the case).

As a side note, so far I'm really liking the epigraph quotes you're putting at the beginning of the poems. Just want to throw that out there.

I really appreciate your choppy style here-I thought it was really effective for conveying the angry bursts in your narrator's frame of mind-and especially the line-to-line repetition of the same words and motifs, which I really liked transitionally. Also liked the line "Before, he was too late," since normally you'd think of the phrase as not having the comma in there and having the reverse meaning, and I thought it was a lovely play on words that you did there.

My reviews are going to be a bit short, unfortunately, because I'm trying to squeeze people in before the end of RCA nominations! Also, obligatory fandom-blind disclaimer.

I really like the sort of thought process/progression of the poem, narrowing into Yoda's own reflections in the middle with a broader beginning and end, and a couple of the lines definitely stood out to me (namely the first and last, actually). The repetition of 'fear' and 'afraid' /mostly/ worked for me, but it did feel a little redundant in a couple of areas, like in line 4 (since "he was afraid of nothing" is basically repeating the same thought as your first line).
