What do you think?

What do you think of this poem? I had to re-write a little. It almost got a perfect score before the re-write. Tell me what you think?

Unfinished Meal

A dirty kitchen filled with pots and pans

An unfinished meal of bratwurst and sauerkraut

A dead candle blown out by screams

Barry White softly in the background

Sweat dripping off folds of flab

A twisted heap lying together

The carpeted floor holds the secret

The aftermath glistening nearby

The angels are done singing

The birds lie still

In the original, the first 3 lines were;

A dirty kitchen

An unfinished meal

A dead candle

The professor wanted more detail in those lines. Does it work better now ? Could I have gotten a perfect 50 with the re-write instead of a 48 with the original?

    Maybe something that would appeal to the senses. A smell perhaps.
