Review of The Sun Won't Set  Open in new Window.
Review by Don't Care Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (3.5)
I look for cadence in a poem, not only rhyming words, but a flow that the words follow.... and punctuation marks are mere hints to pause for meter sake.

I took liberties with your poem.... may not be what you want, but.

The Sun Won't Set

The sun won't set, on these tattered shards,
of hearts left scattered, in the dry yards.
On deserted, vacant, emptied soul,
of these three words, bidst I ye, ne'er to speak,
proclaimed, by yon Christian's heir of peace.

Thy full lips, waxed not, this salvation sweet, where our love once reigned.
Impassioned tempers, pressed mighty constrains, of life's zeal, within thine breast.
now abdicated, lies the throne of purposed strength, and I a knight, unknighted.
Once bade, cease to cry, toward battles worthy, of his might.
Banners faded, tossed to wind, slowly decompose 'neath lengthy winter's bitter chill.

"It is finished", 'tis what was said aloft Golgotha's, splintery dread.
Couldest, no greater words, thou have composed, to strike love dead.

Review of Umbra's Umbrage  Open in new Window.

Much better then my entry **** you lol jk.
A very nice piece, with a sensible, smart, comical flair.
I didn't proof read, (and I like the punctuation, but to be honest, I couldn't care less about punctuation if I tried.) however Y'know is a wording choice I know, but is Chrissakes ? I don't see in the rules that you can't edit.

I really like this, good luck, hope you win....(or second behind me lol)
Loved it!
