Starlight(acrostic)

by Joseph Boadi   Aug 20, 2011


She had thundering eyes like the royal seal
Tales told of her were rich and ideal
And her pure and untempered soul
Revealed her beauty inscribed on a dozen scrolls
Let who wills take her to wife
I would but i have not a life
Guarding such beauty i would with all my mite
Have'nt the world but deep within my dishevelled soul lies my heart glowing bright
Turning your darkest moments into snowy white

    I like your start... enthusiastic and strong, and then it goes on to a slower beat. You choice of words was interesting and nice;

    "And her pure and untempered soul
    Revealed her beauty inscribed on a dozen scrolls"

    ^ love those lines

    This line is a bit confusing;
    "Have'nt the world but deep within my dishevelled soul lies my heart glowing bright"

    It seems like you have two lines put into one with no link, "Have'nt the world" suggests that the world is the subject, but you are... I would suggest not to keep the abbreviation, instead write Have not the world and then link it with the other sentence (if I got the meaning correctly) by showing that you do not want the world but her... So the line would be;
    Have not the world, but drown within my dishevelled soul lying as my heart glows bright

    Other than that... great write! and lovely ending :)

    I think you've penned a quite good piece here though I think it does not flow as well as your other poems. I like the depth it reached and think that the words are powerful.
