Holy diver

I’m what they call
Scourge of the sky
From clouds I fall
Don’t ask why

No matter blood and gore
I am the survivor
Through Carnage I soar
The holy diver

Blazing wings beat
All battles halted
Feeling disapproving heat
Shining light, exalted

Wave of judgment flows
To Hell I am your driver
I am your pain and woe
The holy diver

Author's Note

I got this idea from a song by dio called "holy diver", but to make it clear i just used the name. I have completely morphed the name to this image.
The significance of "holy diver" is that of some entity (angel/demon) diving down through the clouds to end the world of man.

This, in one word, was- Epic. The diction was strong, yet simple, and the imagery was vivid, and breath-taking. The tone of this poem echoes in the readers mind, wonderful wonderful job! I love the last two lines "I am you pain and woe/ The holy diver" I may quote you in something eventually, one day. :P I hope you do't mind haha

Nice poem. I am digging the context. I don't know the song, but I have always been a "fan" of the end of days. (If that doesn't sound too crazy, haha)

For the most part, I like your flow. The poem is easy to read, and it's clear what you are talking about.

I think my only suggestion is to capitalize Hell. Its your own preference, of course. But I think if you are talking about the place where Satan lives, the norm is to capitalize it.

Thanks for sharing!

That is pretty amazing :) I like the way you've matched all the syllables and your choice of rhyme is really good. Although many people can't really relate to it, that's what makes it unique, and makes a reader want to carry on reading. very well written, shows off your talent really well. Ana :) x
PS: only spotted one spelling mistake in Judgement you wrote "judgment" Carry on writing, I would like to read more from you :)

are determined, strong. Good write.

So much power in this piece.

Your words are sharp and bold, like what you're explaining is being carved into the reader. Really enjoyed all the imagery.
The line, "No matter blood and gore".. just doesn't sit right with me though. Can't pin my finger on it exactly, sorry, but overall...
Good Job
