Slaughter by Angels

My first piece of writing that I was ever proud of. Based on The Book of Revelation in the Holy Bible, but take it as you will.

Angel's scream a sorrowed song, as all lives parish in white-hot flame.

The smoke is blinding to all, but gods. These bodies burn in shame.

Toxin's stifle broken air, to suffocate the race of man.

Inhale ash and exhale life.

Descend and rot unprotected.

 

Repentance shan't come to the wicked,

For the wicked can only spite.

Feel their wrath as they descend

In all of their terrible might.

 

The scripture breathes a shattered word, as fire rains from open skies.

Writ within, it tells a tale of destruction and demise.

Their tongues speak clear of pain and hate.

Wreaking havoc, they shall create

The answers sought in long conspire,

The truth about the gods desire.

 

Repentance shan't come to the wicked,

For the wicked can only spite.

Feel their wrath as they descend

In all of their terrible might.

Good poem. I thought the flow was a little rough at first, but it smooths out as goes on. You use great wording for imagery and symbolism. Tales a nice little tale, but sound more like song, than poem. Good Job.

Wonderful writing, and just my kind of read.

Bravo

A dark poem that shows images of great horrors and sad calamity. You can almost picture the darkening skies above as the scene unfolds.

I love that one line, "The scripture breathes a shattered word...." Very well written!

[Annebelle Ashire]

Oh Ashire,
you have already heard my comment on this write.

And once again,
just knowing is suitable enough for this one.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression and I am impressed. I enjoyed your style and was captured by the visual affect of your wording. This piece paves the road of what will no doubt be a long and enjoyable road to travel. Looking forward to reading more of your work. Nice job.
