Wispy art drowned,
in an eldritch or savage conundrum.
Words hide a soundless soul,
deep in the skeleton of a song.
I sing.
Singing for Opheliac.
You will only hear me in dreams.

This poem offers an interesting perspective to your reader. I really, really liked the alliteration in "soundless soul / deep in the skeleton of a song." and the imagery is very nice as well. It's a bit short - and I am wondering what could be added if there was another stanza or two. The ending is very nice - the last line packing quite an impact but I am wondering if "Opheliac" was intended. I'm unfamiliar with the term & wonder if you meant "Ophelia"?
In any case, I appreciate your entry and wish you the best of luck in the contest.
