![]() i come here alot and post my writings, just wondering what you're thoughts on this one is? as usual open to constructive critisism. Hail to the silence of the night the blinding darkness consuming all in its wake sorrowful gray clouds fill the night sky shutting the world out of all its visible beauty hiding the hope that lay in stars light bitter tears fall to earth lost within the darkness the deep and sour scent of loss fills the air which fills the lungs of all that truly live stirring thoughts in feeble minds of broken dreams that shatter like a mirror in shallow time as shards of all those once treasured ambitions cut and scar the men that had set hopes so high leaving marks of remembrance in tired eyes that have seen the world come to such power and watched it as it had destroyed itself in rage and spite over selfish quarries that had been endured leaving the weak to wither the dead to be left forgotten and lost and the few whose hopes had gleamed brightly in their eyes was suddenly and violently extinguished and left to smolder all blank eyes stood staring skyward waiting for the clouds to disperse and for the weeping sky to clear so the broken dreams can go forgotten to forge new hopes to be shattered once more with the coming of the next great storm ~Greell~ |

![]() I liked it. Very visual descriptions of emotional states help to further the sense of unrest. As for constructive critisism (disclaimer this is just my opinion and is definately not meant to be negative): Line 3 the second use of night kinda throws off the rhythm for me. a bit redundant. (unless the first line is the title and not part of the actual verse than nevermind) Line 5 I read this a cpl of times and i always want to see stars where you put starts. It seems to fit at that point but would throw off the rest of the lines. I know "first light" is kind of an over used little phrase, but i had to insert it in my head to get the jist right. If this is meant for song then start is actually real good, since it will force the singer to announciate and make the audience listen closer, but if meant as verse it kind throws the fluidity for me. Shatter shallow shards are good alliteration and their spacing helps enhance the rhythm and overall felling. And the few...was suddenly... i think were instead of was. Minor grammar thing no biggie. Overall very good. If it was meant for song then my criticisms may not be pertinent because song doesn't need to follow the rules of poetry, but i read it as verse. Again very good keep up the writing, trust me it will only make you better. I wish I still wrote as much. Ritt |

![]() criticism. As it says in the title, I'm a big @#%$, and I'm blunt, so don't take this as bad, in the slighest. It wasn't bad at all. =) Your word usage is too dramatic for the tone and pace of the piece. Relax it a little bit, and try to find words that fit exactly what you mean, and don't automatically convey direct emotion. 'Power' words, which are an extreme of one situation (i.e. destroy, shatter, etc.) can be very aiding to the piece, but without care, can actually be detrimental. If you use too many too quickly, it sounds like you just want to sound like your good, and that makes you sound like your bad. And while parallelism is good in writing, it isn't in this case. =D All in all, you show some promise, so relax and don't try so hard, and I think you'll be amazed at what flows naturally.
