OH! Dawn Embers Author Icon

One of my favorite topics Dante's Inferno, and a wonderful poem to salute the dying embers of a ashful soul, as it grasps for the last memories of what was their humanity. ( my muse is awake ) You keep the imagery vivid, yet no so as to be bring the rating high. Well done, and I am happy I found this.

You wrote: Each minute describes the pain
which is the lust of deception.

True! so well expressed. My muse is drooling in delight! Bravo! dark and dismal indeed, like I have said once in a poem, All hope sickens and dies. LOL!




Happy Holidays!

Hello, Katie Author Icon

A deeply gothic tale of the stain on who's guilt indeed, a fantastic poem I gotta say! *Bigsmile*

It almost seems lyrical when I read it, and you describe some horrific imagery in a silent non gory perceptions of what quilt is like for those who murder, and often it is afterwards that the true horror wakes. *Bigsmile*

I only have one suggestion well perhaps more confusion. *Smile* In the beginning I believed the murderer was female but to the end male, somehow I would clarify this. *Smile*

Welcome to wdc, *Wink* StaiNed in tarnished perceptions, LOL!

Hello, Kåre เลียม Enga Author Icon *Smile*

Random read, Oh la! I am just thrilled at this poem and my delighful find. Often poems as this somber, demented sunlight nature are ones that bring us to tears, and a sadness that only words bring, but yours Enga gives something else, a sight fo that perhaps we do live on when the world has abandened us, and in our lives we burden those we love. Not a painful weight but a learning search of why we are as we are, is it others or will be truely be remember when that name is read on that desk.

I am moved by this and well can't say I see anything that would improve it. This is simply, tastefully, colorful, honest in your face poetry.

Thanks very much for sharing.


Happy Holidays!

Hello, Oceandweller Author Icon *Smile*

*Delight*! Oh This is simply fantastic! Questions haunting, the search, often said in what we search for we learn from the journey, and this is a great poem, I enjoy deeply reading poems that are quaint and symbolic in their essence of imagery that in this one is somehat sad, but in the same way rewarding. This has a brainwashing feel to it, a profound read. *Bigsmile*

I only have two small suggestions that really are my own thoughts and offer only in my humble stained perceptions to not improve for this is truely great but well those evil puncutation errors we all make. *Blush*

Second last couplet,

The questions within, screaming for conclusion,
Moments of clarity seem but (an) illusion. *Smile*

and it your first couplet I would add a comma after answers in the second line, there is a pause there.

Colorful reflexion of your muse's imagination. Thanks!! for sharing and coming to wdc. *Smile* I will be back to read more.

Happy Holidays!

Hi again Lonewolf Author Icon

OH! Sappy! Romance in all its lovey, simple glory and one we all can relate to for we all have loved, do love, and have or do feel lost in the intense feelings of that love. Love is a fickle thing, like Forrest said, "Life is like a box of chocolate you never know what ya might get" Love is like that too.

Very sweet and most sentimental poem. Oh my! *Smile* Thanks for sharing some deep romance from your aol.

"To a great group leader who could not be appreciated more.". You have been gifted the Loyalty package from our own wonderful SHERRI GIBSON Author Icon. *Wink* get the spray and wash!


What a thought pondering description Daizy. *Shock* I mean really, like chewing on hard bubble gum, one just chews and chews and chews, I think this is deep, in well we all dream, and you did a fantastic expression of a moving dream and how indeed after one wakes it would linger.

Only suggestion I have Daizy is your second stanza, the last line needs a comma after you. It is a pause in that sentence. *Smile*

I enjoyed this alot. Your poetry is always so mystical feeling. Like a warm glass of milk. *Bigsmile*

Thanks for sharing! and I so enjoy visiting your port.

Move along indeed! I think this is wonderful Nancy, you offer some unjudgemental insight into christianty, and gives those who are always keen on learning about Jesus, or just want to feel the love and strong faith others have for him, a very relaxing read and thought to muse about. *Smile*

Thanks for sharing Nancy, only dear, I think the you should remove the link at the beginning it is not valid anymore dear. *Smile* I liked this! You do not force for faith for others to understand.

Hello, K.L. Carpenter Author Icon

I really like writing dark stuff too as you say, but more so enjoy reading others perceptions of the truth so many others do not. This is one poem, I super enjoyed, Thanks Sm for Random Read! Depression is different for each but I think it is safe to say that is as been foregotten, dropped walked on, like that poor man tambled to death in Wal Mart, and people say they didn't see him, like?! *Rolleyes*


This is fab! *Bigsmile* starting each line in the end, and the truthful, most tastefully brutally expressed imagery that follows, well is most enjoyable, and then you end with the beginning, I had the words on John 1.1 ringing in my ears when I finished this, in a twisted sort of way. *Blush*

Thanks for sharing your insight into such a insightful topic. *Smile* I will return for more fo your dark stuff. *Wink*

Wow! I have not realized how much I have missed your poetry Larry. OH! {E;shock} You introduced us to the cleave form and show us what a poignent onslaught of imagery is like. This is so very powerful and I am speechless or in awe I am not sure.

You have not lost your touch Larry if any it has deepened, and this is dark! *Delight* Oh la la!

where decaying morsels of broken hearts
lay in fragments, shattered, and I wonder at the number

Brokenhearted, dead, perhaps damned. Ohh! I am repeating myself now. You are just wonderfully expressive in the words you choose in your poem, and in this cleave, on of my favorite forms, and I fear forms, this is just brillant. I think no one will argue me, and know Daizy May Author Icon agrees. *Wink*

Neat Larry. What a quietly expressed poem, just like one is daydreaming, so peaceful everthinng is around them, so serene the sense of time has become. This poem is starts like that Larry, Then wow! (you thiught of this while watching kids play!) powerful, and what is sad it is true.

While we take for granted the freedom and lifestyle we have here, in war torn countries children are the one who suffer, and no child should. Provactive, emotional poetry Larry! *Smile*

Boo! SHERRI GIBSON Author Icon

What a touching romantical poem Sher! *Delight* This is really emotional, one reading this can feel this special love, all the mushy, kindred oozing fellings that flutter always when we love one person, or some, so much! that even looking at them sets our stomachs into motion like butterflies awakened.

I was wrapped in this heart felt poem Sher and enjoyed it alot. For Sher there is not enought love left in the world, and knowing some still does as bright and burning and yours and your niece gives hope. *Smile*

Kudos!!!

Hiya! Lawrence Author Icon OH! This poem, reminds me of one mentor we lost a while ago, so symbolic, sweetly expressed that it just falls into one's feelings without making a sound.

A former moderator here Kananspoet! Wrote just as tremendous as you do. I welcome you to wdc, look forward to seeing and being dazed by more great poems as this one is.

Boo! *Smirk*

Hello, Jazz Smith Author Icon

This is a very powerful poem! One of a relationship ended but such a bitter one that feelings still libger leeched in a torn heartbroken essence.

I enjoyed this alot, and love the deep commanding yet morbid tone the poem is expressed in. I do have my suggestions that are only my thoughts - I only hope to to helpful. *Smile*

Very first line you end in a comma, therfore the next line need not be captalized. This second line is off, you state pain as a person, the when reading the rest, that person is is real e lover, and what they gave and still give is pain, if I understand your poem right. So I would "like a" in this second line, for you are not relating her to the mistress of darkness, she is.

Fourth line, first stanza needs a period. Sixth line again, you over owrd what you are expressing, the imagery carries great without "Thus". Ninth line needs a period.

I suggest adding puncution to again the second stanza as needed, for a poem with this much emotion relates and is better presented when feelings beginnning and ending are told, and you use commas just peachy. *Smirk* Line six second stanza perhaps "birth".

Some very outstanding word usage here Jazz Smith Author Icon *Delight* Welcome to wdc. Wonderful! *Smirk*

This is nice meat poem. *Smile* "Congratulations on being one of this weeks Simply Positive Newbie Reviewers!"

We all do feel a deep sense of duty to our countries we reside in, and often we do not know the roots in which these commands grew. You touch this in you poem, and it is simple and well expressed.

Only suggestion I have is you have a period in your description and in the last stanza final line, the period should be last.

Enjoyable poem Author00 Author Icon with a touch of humor. Thanks for sharing and again Congratulations.

Hiya, *Smile* Just an Ordinary Boo! Author Icon


Very neat poem. I always enjoy poetry that end in a question, and yours so hits a quiet storytelling feeling.

I had a feeling this tells of neglect and abuse and self love, for one would ask what is in this poem if living under such torn circumstances, and relating it to a flower is just great.

I have no suggestions, this is simply a well written, and edited poem.
