She wears Black

She wears Black
Written by: Adam M. Snow

                She is dead;

                         the lady in white wears black.

                                Such tragedy-

                                        the widow, a childless mother dead to the world.

                                An innocent, fallen to the hands of man;

                         her soul is restless,

                her pain cries out.

                She is sad, weeping tears of blood:

                         She is the ghost in the mirror looking back;

                                the innocent of an evil spirit.

                                        You hear her cries on a cold still night;

                                the howling, the chill, the very thing that cast a fright.

                         She is alone, forever alone;

               she is the lady in white wearing black.

You had me at "She is dead."

[It's Me, The Miracle]

Mystery unveiled!!!so good a poem....like it very much...Though, both images are good, I would suggest to post an image that pictures the change from white to black...an image that could show the innocence of the girl, though she wears black....Its just a suggestion.....

"The lady in white wearing black" is a good and dark image. I feel like there could have been more to this piece, but after reading your note, it's great for a "random" write.

I had a feeling like you may have held back, i had this stone cold feeling, you wanted to really throw the hammer.

A sad and emotionally grabbing piece. I like the imagery you use here. Very sad write but unfortunately applicable to some. Thanks :)

'the innocent of an evil spirit' i think that is a profound statement. makes you think think a person isn't all evil, but that there's a tinge of goodness. overall i found the poem has a gothic feel about it. eerie and sad. great job.
