Bring forth the lost battles.

by Teria   Nov 21, 2008


Burn your anger with fierce torches,
for it shall never go away -
the pain, the sorrow and misery
from every yesterday.

Fight battles with silhouette's of men,
forging words from mouths of the dead,
as we claim the mistakes of their hearts
that can't be too far ahead.

Chase running mice with rakes of all sorts -
for they've angered the villagers time and time again.
Forget not the memories of the screams ...
they're fading away in laughter of the dreams.

Drink such wine from the limbs of our wounds,
for they've yet to cleanse a soul -
as we fight the battles we'll lose again and again...
but we shall lose them as a whole.

    Great flow, everything was well written... the first stanza really got my attention and lured me in for some reason.. your opening line was magnificant.. and I loved the way you worded it... This is pretty much a flawless write.. meaning that you've wrote a masterpiece for everyone to see. :] I wouldn't change anything.. you did a fantastic job with this one. Your vocabulary is quite simple.. but sometimes simplicity in poems can be a good thing, and here it is. So well done.

    5/5.

    I liked this poem. It is about a sort of interesting subject, that you will fight a moral battle even if you know you're going to lose it, or atleast that is what I believe it's about.

    This is my favorite and my most conflicting line in the whole poem:

    "Fight battles with silhouette's of men,
    forging words from mouths of the dead,
    as we claim the mistakes of their hearts
    that can't be too far ahead."

    I think that it's really the last part that got me wondering about it, there was a great deal of missing syllables compared to the rest of the stanza's, it's also the only one without a - in it...but that would be me being picky.

    I don't see too many wrongs in this, there are a few, such as switching from imagery and then back to adjectives, it's sort of a hard switch at time to time.

    I really liked it, and felt that this told a very good story. I'm not sure why it would get a 4.

    I give it 5/5
