Rise Of The Fallen Comments

Epic. Beautiful narrative. At deities and demigods I stumbled. Second read. I'm hooked. Excellent job.

I don't know why but whenever I visit your page I feel more poetic. You poems always stick me to read but read in one go. So enchanting is always your rhythm. You always take themes that seem to be short but there is always an epic idea behind. I love your use of poetic devices and your diction always suits poetry. Brilliant once again.

While writing on the heels of the renowned poets, Mr Gulsher John is at his best and this very piece reminds me of a classic poem with a new touch.

It has great lyrical density, that is very akin to Milton, it shows similarity with the source material but it never seems like a rip off of it, you give Satan a commanding voice measured by vengeance and anger with being thrown from Gods Kingdom and his desire to levy destitution to Gods favoured creation. I admit Its been a very long time since I read Paradise Lost, but this is a good job that can be read on its own. Like Milton you make him a very enchanting antihero.

We are all the combined energy of he whom came before. Understanding what we do is what our minds are for....iip

U mean dis is on behalf of a warmongering satan? Yeah only satan cud wish 4 an armageddon. And but i esp admird d stanza of ridin rainbows, dats not satanlike im sure in dis wondrful poem.

Boldly written and wonderful. If a leader would rise the spirit of his troop, he should use this poem as an example. I really like that this poem could depict the scenery of the moment.

What a powerful Poem, brilliantly written. Raise………… O Forsaken and dejected but libertine souls! Tho`r beaten badly afore, And blessed with death on the farthest shores, But the world is not yet done behold! the celestial bodies stick to their restless turns I like the dark overtones of this Poem and the wording is very provocative.

Have never read Paradise Lost so I am unable to relate. Your poem is well crafted and inspired.

powerful imagery...a beautiful piece of artistic poetry.

The stinging exhortation of Lucifer(?) to his troops of fallen angels! The poem powerfully brings out the extent of his sense of degradation and humility and the resultant wrath and vengeance against God! People in great power once deprived of it will become awefully scornful and wait for every chance to wreak vengeance! A more or less successful effort to don the garb of Milton!

Very nice. this is one of the most perfect pieces that i ever have read. in different cultures there are different believes that we should respect them. very well

Awsem 1...likd it... Reqst u 2 read mine poems.

Generally though Ironically imitation is the opposite of creation, but when you try to lend a touch of your own originality to some work, it becomes re-creation; You can recreate only when you feel you have absorbed or grasped the original piece completely, it shows your obsession with Milton's grand design, or satan(Honestly speaking, Satan by Milton is that character with whom i don't wish to see any tampering, but) ...what you have done is certainly a daring work...as Milton has done his best in this character of Satan, i can say for sure that the history of popular villains start with Milton's Satan!

in nature nothing is new xcpt the time which is also coming in cyclic order. a good job Mr. John for reviving. history can not b denied. we can do any new on the foundation of past. there is no present, only past n future. i do nt think it is imitation rather a creation. so well done. we have always two angles in our life. do or do not. what is coming before us that is consequence. so need not to fear of consequence. it is ur highness initially u have confessed. at no cost it is imitation but creation.thnx for sharing. regards.

Great job Gulsher U composed the speech of the great character from a great poem by a great poet, really like the imagery and rhyme, satan, much determined and steadfast to rise again, call of deprived to rise against authority, very good poem.

paradise lost! i have read 3 to 4 pages of it and have found your poem too realistic a poem just from the heart and great thing is that i love the h image created here, so sharp, read three times and needed dictionary too. A very talented and provoking write.

I agree with Lyda below. A very thought provoking poem.

No doubt he was great poet, mostly people try to fallow their favorite one personality & do it very well but in ur case i must say with humility u shouldn't need to imitate any one as u have ur own unique style. Anyhow re edition done very marvelously by urs. How wonderfully u embellished the speech of Satan: -)

I dont read John Milton, good for me to not comparing him with you, as i see a poet as you should translate any work as yourself....and if you cant be as John Miller, you still have john in you, Gulsher John hahahaha i mean a brand new poet..i like the flow and the soothing effects you introduced here..dont want to redo your work but let me try another take as mine shape Above the clouds Where temporary life to eternal one We were fallen, will we going to heaven I have faith to fly when i have wings with me I was fallen but i going to heaven because this wing i used to And faith is where it came, inside you _Soul
