Ebony Sins

by Jessica   Dec 4, 2006


Clinging onto a fragile existence,
Begging God to forgive many sins,
Reality gripping onto every move,
The struggle for life slowly begins.

Guilt swiftly eating away insides,
Ruby blood suffocating veins,
Blushing cheeks burning skin,
Souls held down with chains.

Demented thoughts linger within,
Salt rubbed into unhealed gashes,
Releasing dirt from shiny eyelids,
Minds silently being turned to ashes.

Black agony smudged across faces,
Fear forcing hairs to stand on end,
Overpowering sobs drench pale skin,
Taking deaths hand when it does extend.

    To be quite frank with you, dear.
    I've read this poem twice and it made no sense to me.
    It was as though you were just.. well babbling.

    I liked your format, but it could've been better.
    For example:
    Adding punctuation.
    I know I shouldn't be preaching.
    But it does make it look nicer.

    Your flow was okay.
    A great flow in my eyes are reading the whole poem flawlessly without stopping.
    I had to stop a couple of times to make sure what I read was right for it didn't SOUND right.

    Your spelling was perfect.

    All all in,
    I'm sorry, dear.
    Your poem's lack of excitement brought the rating down.
    It's a 4/5
