Demon or Angel?

Bringer of pain,

Harold of doom.

Always the same,

Always in gloom.

 

Yearns for joy,

Prays for love.

Begs for release,

From powers above.

 

 

What is this being we spoke on?

What is your angle?

Is this a Demon?

Or is it an Angel?

Interesting look at the pain our decisions lead us too and whether it's worth the suffering.

NOTES:
Is "Harold of doom" the "bringer of pain?" Or did you mean "Herald of doom?"

[Kent Clark]

Yes, I meant "herald". The auto-correct messed it up, asuming I meant the name and I haven't gotten around to fixing it yet. Thank you for the feedback!

You're welcome. Glad to help. "Harold of Doom" sounds like the title of a humorous, maybe dark (Halloween?) poem. I might play around with the idea a bit. Maybe read some Terry Pratchett in preparation for a Pratchett-esque poem.

I love this piece and how it so simply captures the essence of everyone having multiple sides to them and almost never being able to determine which side of someone it is you are seeing because they could be nice for their own gain or mean because they have just been pushed to that point. I'm sure you have more meaning to your write than just that, it feels much more deep than the surface I just scratched, but I feel like sharing my thoughts on that level might be over stepping and who would want to upset such a wonderful poet? I mean to write something like this, you definitely know what you are doing and have a way with words quite unlike most. Your voice here is interesting and your style is creative. I love that the last stanza is in purple to make it stand out just a little more and wrap up the entire piece.

Thank you. Truth be told, this is my first time writing poems. I'm more used to writing stories and books. I've still got a couple of stories on this page. The rest I made co-authors with my girlfriend on our combined page, Kent and Katie's co-authored stories, if you wanna check them out. Thanks again for the feed back! I really appreciate it.

P.S. You're not over-stepping by letting me know what you think of my work. The way I see it, honesty is best blunt, not covered in sugar. So thank you again.

Always the light and dark side of life to contend with. 'what is your angle?' Good question that.

Thank you. I wrote that line to get people to try to look at things from a different perspective. Really glad you liked it!
