Holy diver

Holy diver

A Poem by Justin Street

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

Justin Street
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

Loved the write very much and the way you expressed the idea succinctly in each line. The second stanza was extremely good! :)

But couldn't see why the 'Holy Diver'?

Love this! It's like some kind of Dark Angel or Demon coming down from the sky to create destruction and pain of all sorts. I love the imagery in this and the rhyming. Awesome job.

Thanks for the credits. You wrote some great images. I am also a Dio
fan. Some of his lyrics were very poetic. I like the resolve and strength
in this poem. It wreaks of determination. Sweet work!
