abuseI too enjoyed the "Why so silent" on each line. It really emphasized the the feeling of the poem. I expected the poem to be different judging from it's title and was pleasantly surprised. I really liked it.

abuseI really love this poem. It takes an irregular rhyme scheme and spins a lovely (if entrapping) web of creativity. I love the repitition of the "why so silent,-" line in every stanza. It's an excellent way to emphasize a feeling. ^^

True the subject matter is dark, terrible (as in evil), and some may say even morbid... I identify more with the sadness honestly. My grandparents passed away some years ago, and I still remember when my grandpa would pick me up from school back in Kindergarten. :/

I don't suppose it would've been too much trouble for the man to mourn for his wife, would it? Meh... we humans respond more readily to emotional women anyway. :x

Excellent piece; definitely a new favorite. :]

abuseI am very impressed with this poem and your style of writing. The repetition of the first line ("Why so silent,") really brought the stanzas together. I am also glad to see that there is another writer out there who still sticks to rhyming poetry. It seems like most of the poems here on FP are freestyle, so I am always delighted when I stumble across another rhyming poet. Great job!

abuseLove this poem. I like the view you took. I had an idea of what the poem would be about from the title, and it ended up bieng totally different from my idea, but fit the title so well. I loved it. I'd be honored if you could critique a few of mine.

abusePoetry you have a talent for too, it would seem.

I wonder if maybe sometime you could adapt a bit of poetry into your stories too? Maybe someone singing a song, someone chanting in fear or something like this!?

I liked how this poems had the original trademarks of poetry with the rhyming, but how it was not the 'common' lines that rhymed, but it was nr. 1+4 and 2+3. This was good.

Maybe the first paragraph could be, to make the rhyme clearer:

"Why so silent, sweet red rose?Why do your petals fade?On your leaves, ice heavily weigh,and lost in winter's snows."

Just i little change in the third line and just an arrogant suggestion. :-)

abuseA beautiful and moving poem, which I have enjoyed reading very much. The diction, the choice of words, the imagery. All are of a wonderful quality I have been missing lately. So, well done and please continue writing!

abuseAt first I thought this was going to be about another eerie churchyard, and almost didn't open it...but I my assumptions were incorrect, and pleasantly so. Your questioning method of poetry moved me to dramatic sadness. Keep it up.

Peace, scribblemuse.
