Such a heartfelt prayer for protection. There is a lot in this world that is dark n frightening. You have beautifully alluded to things that mankind seeks shelter from. But they r a reality, we must admit. A huge 10.
Thank you for the comment and praise. I always feel if a poem is from the heart it will turn out well.
Thanks Nosheen. I think we all could use sone protection these days.
Thanks Nosheen. It seems like hardly anything on the websites working. I thought I already repplied to your comment; If so, thanks again.
I would guess this is the poem you alluded to earlier that you'be been working on. I like the way you rhymed the ending and beginning of each stanza. It added an interesting cadence to the writing. This poem was not a pretty lyrical, but rhythmic and pleading. The speaker is praying or reciting a sort of incantation to the form 'as freighting as the night.' The line 'the trees are blasted bare.' speaks volumes and has great image attached to it. Love the word choice blasted. Well written insight into the speaker's desire for more time and protection.
Actually it was yesterday's poem that I mentioned. But I do try to write emotional poetry and I sort of invented this form because I found the cadence worked well for me. I'm sure others have probably done similar patterns but I can't recall reading anything with this form. Thanks as always for the comments.
