Dark Eden Comments

Rating: 4.6

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

i couldn't agree more with the their comments sir...it's amazing..perhaps words are not even enough to describe your poem. And i know your putting your heart in it.. I have a new poem too.Entitled 'picture' i hope you can read it but its not necessary to give a comment. Thank you sir. Beautiful poem.

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'.

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.

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.
