Barrow (acrostic)

Barrow

Blistering winds force it self upon
glacial temperatures, nocturnal
Army's conceal Gods window with
curtain's turning daylight to black .
Radiance of a polar twilight can
Reveal the true beauty of winter
Only for sixty five days will darkness prevail,
When God releases life back into the
Alaskan sky.

    - blistering winds is plural, so "it self" should be "themselves"

    Army's conceal Gods window with
    curtain's turning daylight to black .

    - okay Armys and curtains do not need an apostrophe as the "s" is only at the end to represent more than one... I assume? But God's window needs an apostrophe because the window belongs to him. I do love this line it is very powerful and the idea of the sky being God's window is amazing!

    Radiance of a polar twilight can
    Reveal the true beauty of winter
    Only for sixty five days will darkness prevail,
    When God releases life back into the
    Alaskan sky.

    Good ending, at first the otne seemed a bit dark and depressing but then towards the end you explain this scene is merely just a Winter and the town it is in. Very nice.

    Very nice. If I were tense before reading this, I am relaxed now. I read it as a calm poem. Easy to read.

    And again I am surprised this was yours actually, stop doing that?!

    Nice work, I liked the strong wording through out and I thought it related well to your colour choice and the coldness that was in the scene.

    Nice job

    Great write man, very obscure city to choose and you clearly did it justice 5/5
