Toxicated History Of An Internal Battle.

Doom for the wicked, no remorse for the Sire,the Founder, the Keeper,
The man who holds the keys to my asylum’s mental cage.
Graves of senility fragmentize, filled with fissures; Break and split,
Fishing hooks pull out vile history, with uncontrollable reeling.

Trembling limbs devise for the worst, knives cut into my skin deeper,
As fingers shatter, this mindsets war engages,simmering the rising rage.
Remembering the times when life was easier, when I wasn’t in hells' fiery pit,
Captive traps, ensnare me, my form withering, anticipating for torture, kneeling.

Bitter memories divulge the depth of tinted red cheeks, rouge liquid dips steeper,
Creases and crevasses fold in on Pandora’s square, revealing imperfection, off the page.
A never-ending story leaves nothing but empty promises, just another woeful hit,
Layers of skin exfoliate and crisp, melting in the rear view mirror, not very appealing.
.
Crusts with rough edges remind us, never-ever elven epic, ever-going beeper,,,
This drives us insane, and ludicrous with every drop of methane, I’m a person to upstage.
Over-sized safety pins prod, murder all the hope, no healing be done with no safety-kit,
Gaping ribs rise and fall like the sun and the moon, no beauty is felt, just an empty feeling.

Pixie princess’s tip-toe beyond my horizon, suddenly sleeping, I see the sweeper,
Snakes slither in my veins, as the man comes, hitting me, knocking me to sleep with sage.
Finally, with one last inhale of oxygen, one last whisper, you hear “I quit”,
Muk-full-pores scream at the night glass gases, skin layers curl now painfully peeling.

    Nice piece!

    a good abstract with a lot of hidden meaning to it.

    Your write has an impact and grabs the reader, and you really don't let them go. This form is a nightmare to work, and keep that impact but you did it. You did amazing with prompt too. Well done!

    Yes, leaving it till last minute isn't a good idea But this is a stunning write! The imagery blew me away, you really dug deep here. Some nice splashes of alliteration throughout. I see no letters where they shouldn't be at all, so good edits The only down side for me is filler words, I don't think you need so many of them. In the first line alone you have used the word 'the' 4 times. IMO they are not all needed, and after reading again and ignoring some of the filler words it reads just as wonderfully. Some painful imagery I have to say, beautifully done. An excellent entry. Good luck with judging!

    Score: 97.9

    GREAT work! I love this poem! There were several of the letter "d" in the fourth lines! It is important to edit that

    I must agree with wolfy about the periods and so forth... several commas but no end.. I was losing my breath

    Other than that, I loved the journey you took me on!! Way to knock out this round...

    Good luck in the judging!

    Breathtaking entry here.

    I loved the imagery used here, it is quite magnificent, and you really made this prompt you own, HOWEVER...

    The real killer here is the lack of end punctuation, at least for me. It is one thing I really look for and I see it is not here.

    Also, as Bear already pointed out, your form was not 100% correctly done as you used the letter "D" in the last line of the last stanza.

    Overall, this was enjoyable and I found it to be an excellent read.

    My score
    95

    Hello :)

     

    I am going to left-align this for my brains mind...hehe..>>>>

     

    Doom for the wicked, no remorse for the sire,the founder, the keeper
    The man who holds the keys to my asylum’s mental cage
    Graves of senility shatter, filled with fissures; Break and split
    Fishing hooks pull out vile history, with uncontrollable reeling

    Trembling limbs devise for the worst, knives cut into my skin deeper
    As fingers shatter, this mindset’s war engages, getting even more enraged
    Remembering the times when life was easier, when I wasn’t in hells fiery pit
    Captive traps, ensnare me, my body withering, anti
    cipating for torture, kneeling

    Bitter memories divulge the depth of tinted red cheeks, rouge liquid dips steeper
    Creases and crevasses fold in on Pandora’s cube, revealing imperfection, off the page
    A never-ending story leaves nothing but empty promises, just another woeful hit
    Layers of skin peel and crisp, melting in the rear view mirror, not very appealing

    Crusts with rough edges remind us, never-ever pixie epic, ever-going beeper
    This drives us insane, and ludicrous with every drop of methane, I’m a person to upstage
    Over-sized safety pins prod, murder all the hope, no healing be done with no safety-kit
    Gaping ribs rise and fall like the sun and the moon, no beauty is felt just an empty feeling

    Pixie princess’s tip-toe beyond my horizon, suddenly sleeping, I see the sweeper
    Snakes slither in my veins, as the man comes, hitting me knocking me to sleep with sage
    Finally with one last inhale of oxygen, one last whisper, you hear “I quit”
    muk full pores scream at the nightshade gases, skin layers curl now painfully peeling.

     

     


    .....ahhh....so much better.....for me, as I do not take kindly to center-align, unless it is a short Form ie;  Haiku....Lanturnes...Cinquain, etc.....ruins the Flow, for me, if I have to jump around to find beginning of lines :) ~

     

    *cube* is used.>>>.... Pandora’s cube, ...hehe....you were going to use BOX, with a B, and your brain farted!!....and you said CUBE!

    No beauty is felt.......COMMA.....just an empty feeling ~

    * nightshade *...used in last L...last S.....no D allowed :)

     

    Ok.....your Form is good.....as I have mentioned, not a fan of center-align, but there are no points deducted, as this is your choice :)

    Only those two words which snuck in from what I can see.....not bad ~

    I would have CAPPED....Sire.....Founder.....Keeper, as you have used those as Direct Nouns :)

    Keys.....needs to be singular, as cage is singular ~

    Last L ..1st S is superb (Fishing hooks pull out vile history, with uncontrollable reeling 

    )~

    Using *shatter* twice is not recommended, as it is too pronounced and makes me go backwards in thought....I want to go forward ~

    *mindset's*.....no apostrophe needed ~

     

    *getting even more enraged*....that line does not roll very well.....cliche' sounding  :(

    *hells'*.....direct noun... need apostrophe after ~

     

    *Captive traps, ensnare me, my body withering, anticipating for torture, kneeling

    *...lots of ING used...not bad, but try to avoid using so many in one line....however, you did bring more power to that Line, I must say ~

    No punc.'s on end of each line is a tad distracting........to me......but after I saw your style being used, I was no toooooo distracted after all.....just at first :)

     

    *peel*....*peeling*....try not to repeat.....break out your Thesaurus!  :)

     

    *pixie*...used twice.....try not to repeat ~

     

    *hitting me....COMMA....knocking me..>>>

     

    *Finally.....COMMA......with one last...>>>

     

     

    CAP, *muk*

     

    *Muk-full-pores*

     

    OK.....wow!

     

    What an incredible take on your Prompt.....blown away by the visuals and your ability to draw me into your thoughts......you have tasken this Prompt and framed it in beauty!

    Your grammatical choices are wisely chosen and Powerful......I am stunned by the delicious beauty of your thoughts......and erie at the same time......hard to do.....but you did!

    Title rocks.....nothing more to critique here.....stunning work.....you have done well.....very, well :)

    Good luck & God bless you....your score shall be sent to to your Host ~

    Bear ~

      I changed it to left align, and I did do this in 1 hour and a half with no pre-planning. I did have another one but i scrapped it because it sucked. I wasnt going to hand it in because I really do not like it. but with the difficulty of restriction of words and connectives there wasnt much i could do with my awkward sentances

    Very Impressive

    Cool Sweetems I do believe this is one of your finest writes I have ever read. I really admire the depth flow and the passion you poured into this write. I mean you  placed your very heart and being into this write and it produced an incredble poem beyond description. any ways I am not just amazed and blown away by the deep sincere words through out your write but I am more impressed by how much you challenged yourself to prodice this write. any ways really loved the methaphorical phrasing through out this write and how it all came together. excellent work and keep it up. Love always, Darkened Angel Cool

    Sounds like torture of the spirit and a deep wound needing to be healed. I liked all the metaphors, all in all a very good interesting thought provoking poem.

    Wow, great result considering it was such a nightmare challenge heh. The metaphors you used are good for the prompt i think. They give the reader space to make some of their own interpretations.

    For example one that stood out for me was: "Gaping ribs rise and fall like the sun and the moon, no beauty is felt just an empty feeling"

    I liked it because it made me think of a state of still breathing, but not true living.

    Cool stuff Brie, love you
