 heroin zombie 2006-08-09 . chapter 1First of all, fix the poem. Fictionpress' ** formatting has connected the first and second lines.
The first four lines are nice, a bit wordy as usual, but they have music.
"What regard holds this world?" is silly.
"Unintelligible" is a word you don't use in poetry. =P
"Scraping and crawling and scratching and clawing" This goes on for too long, but I know what you're trying to do. As well, you say 'crawling' twice.
"Left to reminisce bygone days of philosophy and ideology" is basically outrageous. The whole poem is overwritten, but that's just unforgivable.
L17: ", this reminder"L21: ", inevitable failure" L24:", this disability"L26:", the remote treasure"
Those end bits are annoying. Either make them better or cut them all.
"The most irrelevant details and flaws scouring a rabid hole in the embrace of serenity" is way, way too long.
Don't end a poem with the word "nevermore." =P
It was long, verbose, and messy. Try to have seperate stanzas, and try to be a little clearer with your descriptions. |
