Arms of Grit

25th December, 2011.

Doors bang into hush ears
Startling nosy disciples

Eerie echoes of voices breeze within
As pupils clutter up in the hall

Chatting perpetual in fright
A fraction lean on the wall

Sound of trees swishing
Warns menacing peril in the scenery

Girls sitting on the squeaky chair
Jittery mumbling about frills

Wind current roaring around
Windows swing back and forth

Left idle on the rugged dusty desk
Array of books lay lifeless

Back from the fortnight rest
They all wore weird carriage

Guarding gullible minors
Owls perch on the roof

Grumbling in reminiscent glee
Lips whisper into the garage

Elders in dismay hassle, when
The dirge message circulated

Swindlers lurking within furiously
In need of mortals to lavish upon

Minors panic in distress, when
Unforseen the hall thickens in mist

Elders prudence have manifest
Now insearch for the canticle

All bow down to The One

    "Doors bang into hush ears
    Startling nosy disciples"

    Interesting choice of words I feel.
    Nosy disciples doesn't seem to flow as well.
    I think a little rewording could tweak it ... But this could just be me. I just wouldnt have used the word Nosy.

    "Eerie echoes of voices breeze within
    As pupils clutter in the hall"

    As Pupils clutter the hall
    Or
    As pupils clutter up in the hall

    I feel like either of those would flow better. Again slight tweaking is all thats needed

    Chatting perpetual in fright
    A fraction lean on the wall

    - This stanza has confused me a bit, Sorry. Just seemed a bit random. ALso again the wording.

    "Sound of trees swishing
    Warns menacing peril in the scenery"

    I like this stanza

    "Girls sitting on the squeaky chair
    Jittery mumbling about frills"

    Girls sitting on squeaky chairs
    I went with this because im assuming there is more then one chair.

    "Wind current roaring around
    Windows swing back and forth"

    I feel like the flow in this part isn't as well.
    The hardest thing for me is getting the poem to read easily while still making an impact. I love the imagery you set up though.

    Now im not going to write the rest just because there doesn't seem to be any big issues.

    All in all the poem has great imagery.
    The way you describe things is very well. Its interesting seeing how someone writes from a different part of the world.

    All in all i just feel like you need to tweak your poem so it flwos better.
    Granted this is just my own thought.

    it was a different read Good job!
