From the first line, I was captured. You killed me to give me life. Down the line, it is something of an anti-climax. The power of the first line gave off a really powerful scent. Sk. Nurul Huda, I wish you would re-work this poem and make it stronger. You really have something here.
i read it twice and the Poet's Notes. i can't say i understand the action [and i never can remember, if i ever knew, the story of McBeth; i think it contains witches and death]. SEE? i could not even spell Macbeth correctly! ! ! i think i was thinking of McDonalds. BUT, i certainly sense(d) action and i like the feel/sound of the poem as i read it. favorite line: You failed to hear their crying and for them my heart's silent-shout. i'll send this to MyPoemList and put it into August's showcase. Thanks. bri :)
