Citadel of Doom

Name doesn't have anything to do with the poem, fyi. :P It just sounded cool.

He exemplified bravery,

she exemplified pulchritude.

She was a neophyte in a world of chaos and despair with bereft of happiness.

He had a tendency to be absurd and baneful, with the anguish tears he cried.

She feels like an fiend in a horror movie with him,

he feels like a fiend in a horror movie without her.

Denigrate judgments invade her mind,

while abstruse thoughts invade his.

Her feelings of emotional inadequacy, 

make his mercurial temperament angry.

She can't live with him,

and he sure as hell can't live without her.

This is like a poem made for The Joker and Harley Quinn's relationship. It describes it perfectly. I was taken to an Arkham Asylum type scene when reading this, and I absolutely loved that your poetry was able to take me there. Your word choice was truly great 'neophyte', 'fiend', 'bereft'. Really the only criticism I have is that it reads too much like full sentences rather than lines in a poem. But no, really, this was so tantalizing and dark and brilliant.

Sometimes this happens in life. One need to go one way in order feel complete and the other doesn't feel complete without her. It is a sad tale that pulls people back and forth.

Dealing with the different poles, the invention of reality, nice attempt.

I like how they are opposites yet the same in a way! Just the whole thing makes me want to jump for joy! I like your vocabulary as well! Ah, you have made my day with your writing. :D Thanks for sharing!

Love the structure. A well written poem. I enjoyed reading it.

[PyroKitty24]

Ah, a common theme, but written nicely. It was hard to imagine in my mind because you used harder words to picture. But props for not using the same words over and over again.

[Lily Mae]

Oh I love this...awesome write :) xx

[Kenneth The Poet]

Nice use of obscure vocabulary, I had to look up a couple words to learn the meaning and you did this well by incorporating enough common vocabulary to make it accessible. This piece is heartfelt and bittersweet tinged with a dark lining. Nice work for sure.
