Comments : Death (Acrostic & Palindrome)

    Your poem is eerie. For still being alive and never having experienced death, your words seem to describe what I think most people imagine it is. Unless someone does rise from the dead, we will never know for sure. Good work with the form, neither of which is easy.

    Death is something we all think about and wonder what it will feel like or where will we go from there. I loved this poem.

    Sylvia said it, this gave me a eerie feeling. But it was so well written, perfect really. Enjoyed it a lot :] -Nik

    It is not easy to write about the death because We don't know about what will happen when we are in the last minutes in our life or after the death.
    But you captured well.
    Death may be a new darkness or eternity
    But No one can tell exactly about this.
    I like this poem.

    This poem really hit home for me. For one I actually died and was defibrillated back to life one month after my 18th, and two My birth date is Palindromic 29/9/92. My most humblest thoughts are exposed upon reading this. No fear involved, "Do the thing you fear the most, and Death to fear is certain" well death was mine. :) Thank you

    This is a very difficult mixed form to undertake, To tie an acrostic in takes some figuring out because the end letter of a sentence will ultimately become the beginning of a new sentence.
    I like how 'soul slips away' is used as a mirror that leads us to the poem repeated but in reverse.
    That is just the layout and the forms discussed.
    But what makes it worthy of 10 points is the content, there is a huge eerie feel to this. Silence and darkness work well describing the feeling of death, linking these with comfortable words such as 'aroma' and 'home' is very clever. A very well thought out poem with so much depth and imagery in so few words. Well done.

    That's a very difficult form to undertake and it requires well chosen words through out the poem. You rocked it Meena!
