Dark Poetry's Face

(vs. Poems from a Dark Place)

There's quite a difference

Between dark poetry

And poems from a dark place

And very often

The difference is grace ...

Or no sight of its face

At first it almost felt like a quick throwaway but it definitely isn’t; it hooked me and I had to reread it a few times, thinking about the message. It’s a very interesting poem. Well done.
