'Darkness fading down,' |
by Sylvia
The first line of the poem made me think of a theater, when the lights are turned down and the show begins. This poem (show) took me into the depth of feelings and emotions of depression. It reads as if the central character is standing outside their body watching the depression overtake them, engulf them, watching their normal life end. In the second verse the character seems to accept responsibility for the sadness and pain filling their life, yet they still survive. However in the third verse, the character feels no happiness and again lets the depression rule, giving up on survival. Technically, the flow of the poem is good. I like the repetition of the title as the last line of each verse. There are a few places where a comma might be needed but that all depends on how each line is read. Overall you have done a good job with this write. |
