Last Sorceress

by Rain   Jul 1, 2006


She stands on the mountain
Her last possessions in hand
A tear falls down her cheek
As she looks over her lost land
Her loved ones... theyre all dead
They died in the fire, saving her
She can barely recall yesterday
It was all just one big blur

The locals burned their homes
They were burned alive while sleeping
They all died and live in ashes
Yet she is still left weeping
Her family managed to save only her
She hates the fact that shes alive
She hates the mere thought of it
She hates that only she survived
She hates the ones who laughed
She hates the ones who left her
Yet she still stands on her little mountain
Without caring what will occur

The last sorceress stands alone
With maybe a scroll or two
Deciding to kill all the ones
Who made her life unglued.

    The rhyming seems a little forced...
    the beginning startef out powereful but it was kind of lost in the end.
    overall i liked it though:)

    This had some great imagery and i loved the final stanza, especially the last lne. I think the repetition in the middle stanza spoils it a little. I think if you just had she hates once and let the rest flow that would be better.

    It's a good concept for a poem, but I felt it lacked emotion. I couldn't empathize with the sadness and anger that I am guessing you was trying to portray.

    "Deciding to kill all the ones
    Who made her life unglued."

    I feel that could have been more assertive. determined, in the place of deciding, for example, would have been a better word to use.

    I did like it how you changed gears in the middle, with the "She hates.." part. It felt like it broke up the poem in a successful way. And I could picture what the scene must look like, which is a very strong part of good imagery poems.

    Keep up your writing. You have a lot of potential. x
