Poem Commentary

A dark poem for those in the mood.

Fallen Angel

Who clipped your wings, sparrow?
You sharpen the blades of sorrow.
Blood stains wool as a final breath runs loose in the pasture.
The tree burns blue, but your soul
burns black.
Warm tears fall from hollow eyes.
You rev your chainsaw, spilling gas on scarred tissue...
Grrr... Vroom... Crackle.
The night is still young for a soul so old,
so used...
You are labeled and misunderstood.
Crackle, crackle.
Mommies angel,
how did you come to this?
Spatter, spatter.
You whipe the marrow off your chin.
Bones crack so easily under the pain of a taken life.
Poor, poor fallen angel.

Excellent piece, and the imagery created when read is fantastic. I will be sure to come back and read more, when given the time.

Yay, I keep finding myself wrapped around the finger of your words, your lips! It's gorgeous, if not cruel how so little people are able to see your talent

I like it, especially the line saying: The night is still young for a soul so old, Nice oxymoron... I also like the sounds that you added, makes it more real..and you have a style too which is good!

Thank you! Ha ha. In reality, cooking isn't my thing. But I will surely dish up a heaping meal of words! Thanks again, Maddi.

Poetry is what is lost in translation.
