Impressive! This may be one of my favorite poems ever now. Well done. ;)

"They fly in the wind, evil in their victory and (weeping) laughingSewn with heartstrings and cold flesh, (blood) colour never seepingThe snakes of their triumph always, always, come creeping"

That stanza in particular really struck at me. You have a nice, visceral image going on here - very emotional, as opposed to picturesque. You also did an impressive job of blending the rhyming, so that you almost can't tell that it's there, but at the same time, can sense. The ending was the very best, though - it really finished it off with a bang. Or a breath, in this case. Very well done. ~ TD

"But angel is no more human than demon deep within"..A few things to point out. One-I absolutely love that line. *scribbles it down in her quote book* ^^; Two--your vocabulary is amazing. This poem was intense, I could almost hear the distant cries that are mentioned in your poem. Like all your other work, there are no words for it. Keep writing. -Muted Prose

I didn't really get the entire meaning behind it, but I still loved how you wrote it, and i loved the rhythm.
I'm sorry it's taken me... forever to review your stuff, and thanx for your nice and always helpful reviews. I was travelling and then I got back when school was starting, so it's been hectic. but that's no excuse
thanks again for the reviews, and this was brilliant, great work!

Oh...I really liked that poem. I especially liked the lines: "I was an angel once, an angel in human skin
But angel is no more human than demon deep within"
Very deep and poetic (duh, it's a poem..haha)
Anyway, this is awesome. ^.^ Good job!! and KEEP WRITING!!

wow.
I am very nearly speechless.
That was . . . beyond amazing. Obviously, months of not writing anything have done nothing to hinder or otherwise diminish your enviable talent, lol. But yes, I absolutely love this. I think one of the most powerful things about it, actually, is your usage of parenthetical words (i.e.- "(weeping) laughing"). It makes the reader stop and do a double take, which in turn gives the image time to really sink in and leave a mark. Also, the turn around at the end, when it becomes more specifically about the speaker: unutterably brilliant. The comparison of the angel and the demon, for one, did an incredible job throwing me off and prying open my mind at once. And the last line . . . chills. You seem to have a knack for those, I've noticed. lol. Phenomenal work, chica. Much kudos. =)

Wow! Nice, I read this a while ago but didn't review...can't remember why. Anyway the effect is always impressive. The images these sentences cast into the reader's mind are downright spooky, but also amazing. The music, the sound you capture in the descriptions made me shiver and though somewhat confusing this poem is definitely a masterpiece! Love, Mia

Luverly. A dedicated poem, tribute to wars, this is very good. not been writing long eh? Sound like a pro to me. ^ . ^
Love the einstein quote about WW's. One of my favorites.

I love the imagery here--I can see the red flags in my mind's eye and the cruelty of the death of innocents they represent. Excellent work! I love it!

This is really neat, nice wording and stuff, it's just a little confusing as to what the red flags mean. Maybe an explanation? But i love the poem, it's really cool.
