A purple-ish horned trailing a smoky sky

A Harriet baring down forf from glowing eyes

I glow towards a tower most high

Only need for those who die

Seldom have we spoken to the fathers high

Wielding as such a broken eye

Knowing now and then we cry

Scraping forth we come to die

Alone I swelter this lonely dye

Feeling it trothing as it does try

Again I say die

Again I say try

Again I fall knowing only Lie

Hello there,
I have to say that I really enjoyed your poem , but there are a few thighs you could do better. For one whole composition isn't really good, and it kinda ruins poem. It's not really clear what was the message you were trying to send, and in the end there is a lot of questions unanswered . Your paragraphs should be longer because this way it doesn't seem to hold somebodies attention. But I like the overall tone of your poem and it's pretty interesting... Keep writing

Hello, Virgilius! It's amazing what a lack of sleep with inspire, right? :P

First comment is I really liked this. It's different from a lot of poems out there, and it's very feeling while short at the same time... and it rhymes which is a plus in my book!

A purple-ish horned trailing a smoky sky


horned just seems like it's missing a noun. I know it's like that for the same reason that the poem is entitled "Unnamed" but it just seems like a hole to me.

Only need for those who die


"needed"?

Seldom have we spoken to the fathers high


Apostrophe needed between r and s

Again I fall knowing only Lie


So this just is awkward so maybe if you made "Lie" plural or put an "a" before it, it'd fix that problem. Anyway, I liked it! Thumbs up!

I feel like it will be absolute hotdog water, but oh well. It's just a draft.
