Man of Ice

(DOES NOT RHYME)

i strode right to the ends of this earth and here i will stay.
frozen. betrayed.
my life shattered like broken ice.
my body numb like in the dead of winter.

i cant feel much, but when i do
i dedicate my hate you.

i dwell beneath the snow and i tunnel to the darkened, cold waters.
Hell knows better than to step in my path.

My heart will never melt because of you.
And everyday my eyes grow colder and my limbs begin to snap.
but never will i fall

this white world is mine.
my frozen kingdom shines.
it called my name and i answered.
forever, here ill stay.

frozen. betrayed.

    Frozen. betrayed.

    *I love that you repeated those two words. I agree with MaryAnne. A few parts were choppy, but I still liked this poem. I think it's one of your best. I love the imagery and how you tell your story is very interesting. Nice work. Nik*

    First, capitalize all your "i"s. And the flow was a bit choppy here so here is what I thought of everything:

    "i strode right to the ends of this earth and here i will stay.
    frozen. betrayed.
    my life shattered like broken ice.
    my body numb like in the dead of winter."

    Second line: Instead of having a period after each word maybe write it like this: "frozen, completely betrayed." I just think it would read better. Good work though so far with the similes. It's always good to have those in.

    "i cant feel much, but when i do
    i dedicate my hate you."

    I love these two lines, simple yet to the point.

    "i dwell beneath the snow and i tunnel to the darkened, cold waters.
    Hell knows better than to step in my path."

    This was a powerful part, the first line was a bit too long and kind of threw me off, maybe shorten it, its up to you. I love that second line, kind of scary.

    "My heart will never melt because of you.
    And everyday my eyes grow colder and my limbs begin to snap.
    but never will i fall"

    Okay, in the first line have a comma instead of a period, same with the second. In the third line, add a period at the end. Also, the second line didn't have a good flow, again maybe shortening it would be a good idea.

    "this white world is mine.
    my frozen kingdom shines.
    it called my name and i answered.
    forever, here ill stay."

    Good ending, strikes the reader.

    I think in the first, second and third lines though, you should have a comma, not a period. Just my opinion though.

    4/5 from me, this was good but could use some work. Take care..
