Dark Road~an acrostic

 DARK ROAD

Down where the darkness dares creep

Are the eclipses shrouding the torture

Rustic swords, the moon beams the blades of the night

Killing me slowly, every slash ripping the


 

Resplendent heart, like a mintage black rose

Over the star dust, souls reaped again and again.

Around the same time that sword is in your heart

Down where your blood creeps, you'll never find me there again.

Why is this not in the SPOTLIGHT?!!! I feel it should be.

Wooooh, this is a killer.... why is this not in the SPOTLIGHT!!!! I feel it should be, I feel it is really really well done. Ah Katie, it slayed me... I feel enslved by it, having read it, it has left a brand on me, very powerful, very clever & very skillfully crafted my friend (Oh you know almost all my favorite songwriters come from Canada, there is definitely something about that place that breeds good writers!!!) More, more, more & bravo girl! xx~ Anni ~~~ "A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world; everyone you meet is your mirror." ~Ken Keyes, Jr.

It's pretty good

The writing is pretty good except theone line you missed out a word. Killing me slowly, every slash for ripping the. What do you mean your innerslef. I think I would've written "Killing me slowly, every slash for ripping the heart." You write whatever you want I think what I've said would've been better. This poem is very promising and I hope to read some more of your works. Sincerely, Mary Steffen

yaaaaaaaaaay

Yay for acrostics - you did an excellent job on your acrostic, Katie. Maybe I'll write a new one to post. (That is if I can get motivated enough).

A very well done accrostic

A very well done accrostic with awesome imagery and smooth flow. A very difficult feat to accomplish in accrostics and you have done it exceptionally well. mike

Your muse is certainly having fun with the darkness! And sucking us all in with you!! Great acrostic. I would tread lightly going to this Dark Road. Live, Laugh and Love (and don't forget to write) Tink
