The Prophecy.

In Poetry

I've seen you in my shining eye.
The trees rustle in wait, my dears.
A lady of the sea will seal one's fate with blushing red.
A man in the mud, bears more then you give him credit.
To be lost in brown and to feel it inside you.
I've seen this before, in my broken reflection.
A stranger in my friend's body makes no sound.
The trees have been waiting.
The journey ends

With my shining eye.

This was a great poem and i simply fell in love with this piece. My favorite line " A stranger in my friend's body makes no sound." i loved the line. The ending was really strong and the way you portrayed the end was brilliant. I hope too see more of this beautiful work. It is a great take on a well known genre and something new.

The ending was really strong, I like this a lot. You have a lot of imagination, as the poem shows, and I can't find any flaws. You did a really good job with this.

I have never been very good at reviewing poems so sorry if I am a little weird here, hahha.

I do enjoy the fantasy genre which may make me a little bias. Saying that, I really did enjoy this poem. One of my favourite lines would have to be

A lady of the sea will seal one's fate with blushing red.

For me I got the image of a wondrous powerful witchy women. Hahha.

Having said that this poem lacked any real heart and seemed rather bland for a poem on fantasy. It could have used with some bigger and brighter imagery which is what makes a fantasy poem really shine.

All in all this was a pleasant poem but I didn't feel that it had any real depth to it and was very plain. Good work, keep on writing!
