Of this Dark Angel

just somethin....

Black and leathery,

shiny and torn

Whispers of misery;

 

These are the Wings...

 

Chants are sent

beyond the grave

With great lament;

 

These are the Lips...

 

Dead and hollow,

barely alive,

Shadowed and shallow;

 

These are the Eyes...

 

Cold to the touch,

ever so pale,

Loving so much;

 

These are the Hands...

 

Lost and wandering

'round the world

Of souls expiring;

 

This is the Life...

 

Of this Dark Angel

this is amazing! love the "dark angel" display and what it is like! great use of words and the poem catches you right in the beginning

I think you did a good job with this poem. It was easy to follow, and easy to understand. I didn't feel your emotions in the poem though. It just didn't feel like it was something that was very personal to you. The structure of the poem is good. I would describe the hair or the soul underneath the eyes of the angel as an improvement to the poem. Overall I have to say you did a good job.
