I surrender all

by StarGirl   Jun 15, 2006


11. I surrender all
The people are whispering.
The angels are smiling.
They all stand around the hospital bed.
I can't leave them!
The angels smiled but said nothing.
The people were crying
It was all one big mistake.
The angels just smiled
So peacefully, so serene.
I asked, 'What's heaven like?'
An angels lips softly brushed my cheek.
I suddenly knew what heaven was like.
Will they be okay?'
The angels just smiled
Warm arms embraced me.
And I knew that
I must surrender all.

    I get that the lines about the smiling angels are meant to be there, but it kind of got on my nerves after reading it about three times. Repitition often adds a lot of impact on a poem, but it's important not to go too overboard with repeating things, or the reader might get a little annoyed.

    I liked the images your words brought to my mind. I imagined a little girl in a hospital bed, white sheets, white floors, white walls; the window was open and the room was really bright. And then three little angels, graceful in every aspect of the word, standing, smiling, gently touching the girl. Just really great.

    My honest critique: 4/5

    Hm. This was a unusual write to read for some reason. But, I still liked it. I thought it was well written. Umm, well done. I don't think there's anything wrong with this one quite honestly. 5/5.
