Purgatory

Purgatory

A Poem by Middling
"

Sort of a double meaning to the poem.

"
The nervous wait,
For to reveal our fate
Written in the prose.
Flustered faces searching
In the pages so clustered.

The door opens
Our destiny awaits
First enter the blessed
The damned enter last
Ready to begin their task.

A thoughtful write...very concise...the "nervous wait" of man after his death...not knowing whether heaven or hell awaits him, has been portrayed well in the first stanza...
The second speaks of the arrival of the moment very elegantly..."the door opens" is an apt metaphor indeed... and a fitting end with "ready to begin their task"...
Nice write..
I am not sure I got the double meaning though...

very good short piece, there were a few parts where other words naturally came to my mind other than what you had written, but i thought you conveyed your idea effectively and it was a eerie piece to get people thinking, success.

I like the poem. Purgatory is a Dante's creation that leave many of us thinking which road did we walk on? In so few words you brought a topic forward and told a complete story. A outstanding short poem. Thank you.

For to reveal our fate"

To me this line doesnt seem to fit in the flow of the poem. Other then that this is a great poem.
