Stone Garden

by Twisted Heart   Aug 17, 2006


Reflected shadows of granite angels
Pillars marking souls within this cold employ
Flowers with vacant petals bow in defeat
Against the sullen winds that blow.

The whisper of a lonesome cry
Descends upon the barren tombs
As thunder roars its angered song
And lightning strikes against the moon.

The night is cast by misty fog
And wrapped within a damp embrace
The stones of those long forgotten
Who's broken souls now haunt this place.

    A really good haunting poem with amazing imagery and word choice. it flows very well and the structure is good. i'm guessing it was about a graveyard, but not sure, i thought all the words had connotations that made this poem very thought provoking.

    A Very Nice Poem With Great Language and Imagery. Very Cool to Write a Poem About A Cemetary(is Is about a cememtary right?) The onyl thing i dont lke is how the first stanza's rhyme scheme doesnt match the rest., employ and blow dont rhyme... =\

    Other than that definantly a great, dark, slightly creepy poem.

    5/5!!
