Lost Souls

                                                                                           Lost souls           A fallen angel sentenced to Hell. For the souls, I have taken all broken and frail The heavens rebuked me and forced me to dwell In the dark depths of eternity, a place called Hell Stitch all around me no escape can be found  Pain and sorrow of the lost souls that are bound        There on his thrown Satan sat waiting For the souls that are, his rejected from Heaven The crown on his head and blood in his eyes Fire in his laughter as the demons danced by     
The fear of damnation had filled my soulRevealing the truths, I had never toldThoughts overwhelmed me of the pain I InflictedFor this was a time, I would of never depicted  
His judgment declared and my sentence receivedEternity of darkness, as I made my last pleaInto the dark depths of hell, I was sent Forced to dwell in eternity of regrets     By:     Wayne Allen Wadsworth

Well that was a great first

Well that was a great first post Wayne! There is some formattin issues, the poem submitter can be tricky. If you would like some help let me know. And maybe a skipped word or two. The ryhme was a little lost towards the end. But I think that it turned out well. If you put some more in to it over the next few days, I bet that it would polish up nice! I will try to come back and check up on it! Julie D.D.

Format counts, think of it as being generous to your reader.

There seem to be some stray spaces at the beginnings of lines and some stanza breaks would help. Some scansion problems, read it aloud, you will see what I mean, it sounds like some lines don't hit the meter (rhythm) and some have a few syllables too few or too many. I can't comment on content. Overtly religious pieces are problematic at best and very difficult to achieve any originality. Cheers, Jess, reprehensibly irrepressible

Thank you

Thank you for all your insights, I am in the process on changing the end of it. I believe I opened a door which I did not want to do, going off topic from from a single soul to different ones.

Oh my word, that makes all the difference.

the structure but especially the content. To me, once you make it personal it is spiritual instead of religious. a couple of typos Satin/Satan and Inlected/inflicted Cheers, Jess, reprehensibly irrepressible

Poetry is not poetry until

Poetry is not poetry until IT IS personal...until then it's depictions, phrasings, and run-on sentences. Thank you Jess. Welcome to Neopoet Wayne, any relation to THE Wadsworth? ~A

Oh I liked how this evolved

Oh I liked how this evolved Wayne! Don't center your title, but the format worked MUCH better and your flow returned. YEAH. And what a great first post. I wish all new people showed up in chat and look at the end results, you already have a ton of friends! I am just busting a grin as your greeter seeing you get so involved!! Julie D.D.

A little help from a friend...

I've edited your lovely poem and if you like it this way, it's still the same poem, just edited a little for flow, You can cut and paste this in edit. Your were kind in your comment of my poem `Whispering Sorrow` so I thought a little help to thank you, you wouldn't mind. A fallen angel, sentenced to Hell. For the souls, I have taken all broken and frail. The heavens rebuked me and forced me to dwell, in the dark depths of eternity, a place called Hell Stitch all around me no escape can be found. Pain and sorrow of lost souls that are bound. There on his throne Satan sat waiting, for the souls that are, his rejections from Heaven. The crown on his head and blood in his eye, fire in his laughter as the demons danced by. The fear of damnation had filled my soul, revealing the truths, I had never told. Thoughts overwhelmed me of the pain I Inflicted, for this was a time, I would’ve never depicted. His judgment declared my sentence received. Eternity of darkness, with last words I plead. In the depths of hell, my fate was set. Forced to dwell an eternity of regret. Your new friend Rosina xena465
