I lived in depths of a hundred fathoms
Where days are dark and cold
Darting shrimps leave silver streaks
The only light to be seen at noon

Wow Dark Eden is very well written. As soon as I started reading it I felt a chill go down my spine. Nice descriptions.
I feel sad when reading this poem.. But well written Krista
hi there! the poem is great only that it's full of sadness, loneliness and this could be only true in a dream. Anyway it sounds well and great.
This piece, as well as the others after it (I'm sure) is evocative of your Pointillist poem: it paints, not tells. The rhythm is just right allowing for a smooth flow of images. There is a grammatical situation in 'precision gauge measure' I think you have to choose which verb should have the 's'. If 'gauge' is a noun (defined by 'precision' then it's 'measures'. Would not 'all' be better then 'in esteem' since it also rhymes with 'small'? The last line of the 3rd stanza would look and sound better if you started it with 'To an audience...' Overall, another gem, Ed. The poet is a dreamer who wields magic with a two-letter wand 'if'.
dude what a poem! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! excellent. It's so hard to find someone who really gets it on here. You do. The imagery, the flow, the style- all perfect 10/10
I fail to appreciate the poetic logic. Dark nd cold under the sea yet you see well even if noonlight enters but not too brightly.. Bonfires under water? And yet the poem isn't surreal.
Brilliant imagery in this write Eddie, I enjoyed reading it, 10 Lynda xx
Beautiful poem. Not many people sit and look at the beauty of the world.
A lovely piece of work. It carried the reader along with it till the very end. Quite moving and masterful. R
These are nice descriptions, but the beauty of them is muted by the absence of rhythm and rhyme. This is one piece of writing that needs it badly because the fact that it is not there is very noticeable to me. I am also sure that the readers will notice it as well. GW62
When I was a boy I use to play by the sea shore. Know just what you mean in the poem.
