Im stuck underground, all I hear is my heavy breath
I've been trapped down here ever since my death
My soul lays in darkness for there is no sun
My soul?...I wonder if I even have one
This dark hellish fire burns all around me
The smoke ever blinding that I cannot see
Evil is everywhere, theres no place to run
Why do i deserve this, WHAT HAVE I DONE?
No one can hear me, no matter how loud I yell
This is my punishment, all alone, trapped in hell!

Hi. Thanks for entering my contest and good luck! I’ve decided to use a slightly edited version of my friend Arkbear’s grading scoreboard to help me judge this contest. I hope he doesn’t mind. It’ll aid me in organizing my thoughts and judging fairly versus randomly. I hope you enjoy it and find it helpful. Writers with the highest possible points out of 80 will obviously win

Title Appeal: 9.5 – Dramatic. Short and to the point. I’d probably click on this just to see what you have to say.
Poem Flow: 8.5 – All caps at the beginning of each line and sporadic/improper punctuation made for a pretty choppy read. Meter is pretty good. You’ll want to revise this for a smoother read
Depth: 8.95 – Powerful words, leaving somewhat of an impact.
Emotional Impact: 8.25 – I’m not sure why, but I just couldn’t connect with this piece. I’m sorry.
Spelling and Grammar: 10 – YAY!
Punctuation and Caps: 6.75 – You’ve capped every line, which is unnecessary. Also, consider uncapping “WHAT HAVE I DONE?” Additionally, you’ve left off end line punctuation and your internal punctuation is questionable or missing. Proper punctuation, IMO, is soooo important to the power and impact of a poem. Punctuation pauses and stops the reader at the appropriate places so that he/she can reflect on your thoughts and absorb them….connect with them. Again, my opinion.
Presentation: 9 – Nice job!
Personal Appeal: 9 – A great write overall! Thanks!
My score: 69.95/80.00

This poems is very nicely done. The flow is good the rhyme not too forced and the imagery solid. As for your prompt word since it is not in the title; would be what? Hellish? Just checking. Thanks.
