Cleanse the rusting, crimson stains
and all the dust that still remains
The fairy lands and fading dreams
I let loose much too long ago...

A sunrise smiles upon the grave
Where pirouetting angels seem
to dance away the shadow's crown
My pride, my soul has fallen down...

Into the stillness, in the rain
See no dust that still remains
Fairy lands and angels pray
And hope that I'll return again

But I may not remain

You are the Queen of Tetrameter, but you teased us all in the last stanza when you abandoned tetrameter.   *gasps*
I think you should take a few minutes to rewrite this, and extend it.     Three stanzas doesn't get the message across quite as well as it could.

You should know that when I write from that lil spot inside, I don't give a rat's butt about formats, babe. Thanks for the advice though, maybe I will try another. Much love to all, shanks for replying.

Great poem carly......quite good. I'm impressed.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
