Shadows Beneath Heaven

by Kenny   Jun 18, 2008


*For A Contest*

Blood crawl the silent streets
Of unconsciousness, Of secrecy
Contaminating frozen cold feet
Unaware of fervent death and adversity

Sonorous wicked voices fill the grail
Of holiness, Of sacredness and praise
Faith submerging to pleasures and ales
Satisfying each breath leading to
unbearable craze

Angels stare the forsaken land
With flux of tears, worn out mercy
Wings dispersing keeping wrath in hand
Will wash the sin stained creation of humanity

Shadows merry making within vast halls
Broadcasting foolishness, avidity and greed
Soon will fade, will be poured with enlightenment
Reinvent the kingdom where they feed

    Fantastic write, the flow and structure were both good, but could've been better with punctuation. Punctuation is very important in poetry, it lets the reader know when to pause or stop as well as adding to the flow. The imagery was so sureal, excellent work!!!

    ^^Captured the attention of the reader from the very start. Nice use of vocabulary. Made me want to continue reading.

    ^^The "holy grail" portion of this stanza reminds me of, "Indiana Jones" Another well written stanza!

    I found this poem to be suitably chilling, building to a climax.
    I like the use of the angels "I could picture the arch angel, sword in hand waiting to disperse justice"
    Yes humanity seems to have to gift for destroying what God has created.
    Well done on an excellent poem

    Excellent job. Some poems use big words to make something sound better. But in your poem, the big words contribute to a clear story or message. Keep on writing!
