Fading barn on a sad gray hill,
Weeps in silence as all is still.
Cowering sun and bold faced clouds,
Hidden ‘neath mystic shrouds.
The barns red paint corrodes away,
The barn dies more each passing day.
The doors swing open and all is seen,
The other side   a faded green.
A dismal place of sickly heat,
Raw wrists in shackles, hot coals on feet.
More to this barn than just it’s whole,
A gateway to the darkest soul.
The evil within’s been there since birth,
Uncontrolled it shakes the earth.
Fingers from the sky reaching for the ground,
THUNDER! LIGHTENING! FRIGHTENING!    sound.
Epitome of all that’s lost,
Why oh God this costly cost?!

You had some nice imagery here...I could see the barn very clearly in my mind. The flow was great, as it is in most of your poems. Not much more to say (just had dinner and all i can think about is foooood...) other than good job! Can't wait for your next piece!

Very gripping.
I liked it. The imagery, the description was incredible!
This was very different. I read over it a few times and liked it more each time. Very nice!

You wouldn't worry about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did.

Awesome poem, but I felt that the flow was off in certain areas. Regardless of any of the technical stuff the poem rocked completely.  

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