Darkness

Hushed winds start roaring
The darkness closes in,
As the cold rolls.
Scary, and mysterious

Screams from the night.
Escape as you try
Cannot hide!
It's pow'r to strong.

It comes out of nowhere
Covers you in a cape.
In sadness and hate.
No one can you hear you scream.

Yes, it' short, but it's a firsty.
@aizel what do you think. I would like your response.

A FIRST! Wowza, you got talent. I love the feeling it expresses - desperation and lack of hope, hate, but also a big amount of sadness.

Short, simple and sweet. It's lenght put me off at first, but it's vagueness actually accented on the entire theme of the poem - darkness, which we cannt understand, cannot hide from.

It's wonderful. :')

Hope you don't mind me pinging some people? More users need to see this. =D

EX.:
"The darkness coiled around the children's hearts, like a snake"

@misty
Thanks, for the constructive critisim. I don't mind it and it helps me out, A LOT. I showed this to my writing teacher and she was surprised considering that I'm only in the sixth grade.

@aizel
I don't mind if you ping people. Also, you really think it's that good? I guess it's okay. I don't know, I just felt like writing something and this is what came out.

@seaangel It's not professional, I can say that. And there are flaws in every poem, but for a first... I don't know what to say. Wowza. XD

@seaangel I like it. c: It really looks like you've put your mind into it, which is a trick to writing good poems. 😉

Although the punctuation is a bit... strange. On the first paragraph, I don't understand why you put the point at the end of the 3rd line. o3o I guess I'm just not used to seeing that... P:

I love the last paragraph though. ^-^It's very artistic and abstractic. 😸 You have an mistake:

It's powr' toO strong.

You just forgot a O. xD
