So where were you (?)
when I searched through the
fields, and found a demon (!)
twitching with death, and
screeching your name –
past Heaven?

Well you must have been
complaining: about a missed
admittance --> X

Another caterpillar missing
evolution®, you were crying
under your own failure* -
and your fever.

Humans can folly ourselves
disastrously, like the flow of
Zeus’ deluge (pagan imagery),
feeds an atheist (squalid) garden,
and swamps a preacher’s Swamped
soul.

So you were crying like
a flower turned from the
Sun, and drowning in
Darkness.



And I sit here
to judge you –
though I know not how
to and have no right…

Watch as my horse
runs over the cliff (skull and crossbones),
and dies a subterranean
miseries for all us
mortal (as in pithy) creatures and
our small tendencies.

Am I conceited?

I think not, though
answers can’t help
us when they hide behind
clouds –
the Moon’s vault guarded.
(Not for gold)
"This is our decision,
to live fast and die young...
Yeah it's overwhelming,
but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and
wake up for the morning commute?

The models will have children,
we'll get a divorce,
find some more models;
everything must run its course!

Really good :) I liked it a lot! The rhythm kept up well, and I didn't find myself tripping over any of the sentences. I couldn't find any faults with the ending, grammar, spelling or just the poem in general. It was really interesting to read, makes you think.

Just great! Very well writen poem, the rhythm just set me to ease and the rest just went on. These are the types of poems I like to read, the imagery was on spot making me feel like I was in a forest. This poem can go a far way I can tell, like the last review it was intresting and it even made me think. I hope to read more of your poems.
Keep up the writng.
Perfect!

We always talk about the "doers" and "dreamers" but I'd like to give a big shoutout to the "tryers".
