 Chuggur 2006-04-30 . chapter 1It sounds excellent, except for a few rough spots...
Or worthy, just KingsWe’ve seen their Golden RulesA symbol, a memory
The middle line there doesn't fit the format. Try something like "Who have Golden Rules" or "With their Golden Rules."
Only wise men and prophetsOur winding paths knew
The "s" on the end of paths almost adds an extra syllable. Try taking it off.
Unchanging, unspeakingEchoes of the pastAncient sorrows lost
Again, the middle line here is one syllable off. Try taking out "the" or "of" or changing it altogether.
Hallowed one returningIn blood crimson of the dawnIn cathedral of the forest
One syllable too long in the middle again. Try taking out "the."
Besides minor structural stuff like that, it's an exceptional poem. Very nice and, yes, it does not drip angst and drama. ;-)Very nice.
PS: If you can find the time to spare, I'd appreciate your comments on my current work, The Sand Drake. I've seen some of your reviews, and they seem well-thought-out and full of solid, useful suggestions. |
