    From what I comprehend, this is about faith and religion? If it is, oh, my. You're in for a very short, unhelpful comment because when it comes to poems like this, my mind absolutely BLANKS.

    Pride and anger needs to pierce through.
    `I feel like you should take out the "s" in needs. It just sounds better.

    Okay, I'm at the second stanza now. I think I get what you're getting at ... but I can't find the words to really explain what I'm thinking. Your flow and wording is continuously great tho :)

    Warring to resolve which crowd is right;
    `For some reason, my mind just totally transitioned to thinking about society and interpreting this (by itself) as teenagers going through all that stupid drama and trying to find themselves -- figuring out whether they want the popular crowd or their real but "loser" friends more ("which crowd is right"). Totally random, but whatever xD

    Searching answers that forms the heavens,
    `Here, I think you should take out the "s" in forms, too. But I don't know if it would make a difference -- nor how it would sound to you, since it's your poem and all.

    I actually liked the third stanza (probably because it's the only one I think I understand the most) a lot more than the first two. The first two provide visuals -- great imagery, and create an atmosphere to the piece. This stanza however, digs into a deeper meaning of life and death.

    Blessed lands sparkle with disrespect;
    `Oooh, nice diction here. "sparkle with disrepect" -- it's an ironic image for me. And I love irony :)

    So overall, your piece's flow never faltered. Your careful choice of diction was constant and effective -- and the ending wrapped it out with a sort of mysterious, open question in the air. And the ending line is teeming with potency. It's an effective sentence.

    Despite that I couldn't fully comprehend it, I enjoyed it.
    Nicely done.

  • First of all, thank you for my comment. I took your advice to heart.

    Wow, I loved this poem. It was a very powerful message. Is this about religion? If so, I can see all the descriptions and emotions. You definitely peaked my imagination.

    This poem makes a very valid point about the abuses that misguided religious fanaticisms have caused if mankind sought the truth with the same persistence the world could live in peace, at least from a mystic point of view. Great poem, I have no criticisms

    A powerful poem about religion. i didn't quite get anything that may have been in between the lines but i enjoyed the read as it was different to what i usually read. i think it flowed well, rhymed brilliantly and was worded and penned fantasticly

    5/5

    Keep Writing, hun
