Elfenlied

A haunting melody to soothe the soul
Bitter memories under lock and key,
The nature of love explored
Within the medium of hate.

Subtle themes woven with skill
Within a tapestry of violence and blood,
Images to shock the mind
Linked with moments of serenity.

Questions asked within the play
Challenging perceptions of good and evil,
Humanity explored through the focus
Of our worst fears and bestial instinct.

    Interesting

    This is an interesting piece, i like the subtle bounce in the flow and it is well penned. It makes me think of the elves in Terry Pratchetts books or A midsummer nights dream.

    However can you please explain why you think this poem belongs in my contest when it doesn't seem to have been misunderstood or judge without reason

      The original contest was for poems about anime, but the judge only picked poems about his favourite anime and discarded any other poem out of hand.

  • I dont think that this is right for my particular contest, but it was still a creative write! I liked it very much!
