Sky Sorrows

A fun poem about rolls in the night. Rolls of humanity------

Sky Sorrows

The sky is lit with twinkling stars

Their shiny pale eyes.....

Are emphasized with shimmering eye shadows

Shadowed with shimmering shades of crimson

They flit across the black screen

 

The moon is shining

Ever so brightly this dark gloomy night

Lacerated, with dents, bruises, indentations,

Upon its smooth creamy top

Speckles of black smother its splendour

Dirt.

Wow, I love how you make readers guess the message behind the poem! Its really amazing, I love the way you have told the whole story. So... let me guess... I was bit of affected by the reviews below, and yes, it looks like vampire and werewolves, besides, when will you reveal your answer? I want to know!

I don't get the message, but I loved your use of imagery. It's really wonderful. Thanks for posting.

This poem has a dark tone to it. The crimson splatters reminds me of murder or of someone being beaten. The imagery is dark but done quite well

[hannajade]

this is great!! honestly, I had know idea until I read Cynthia's review and read it again, and i agree it must be vampires and werewolfs...

[GrandDystopia]

A very interestng piece and i have to say that i am stumped at the meaning, you'll have to tell me, though i think i might have an idea.
Is it a metaphor for us as people?
Great poem

Nice imagery.

[J Michael Simmonds]

Nope I honestly don't get it...its not one of those hidden meaning poems that people write that are so full of riddles it leaves you scratching your head.

[Ashley Myers]

it leaves a lot to be guessed! I have no clue what you're talking about but it sounds really pretty lol

[M.Babu]

Wow. I like the diction alot though to be honest i understood it after a second read. Poetry can sometimes be misinterpreted so forgive me if i wont guess, i hate being wrong:) but good poem- it strung me along throughout its entirety. Good read thanks for that
