No fear
To fight
To face
The night
Battle wraiths
Take delight
To bring
The storm
By evil
Formed
To crush
The soul
Without
Console
But fight
The wraiths
Amidst
The dark
Show no
Mercy
Call their
Plots
Srike them
Fiercely
And they
Will fall
And you
Shall stand
Above
Them tall

First of all - waiting one minute before attempting to bump your own poem seems more than a trifle presumptious.

Point of fact, responses to our own work will not "bump" our poems up to the top.

Ettiqitte being covered - let me see.  I feel your line breaks make your poem too choppy.

I would like to see you expand the image of your "battle wraith".  A neat idea, but your poem doesn't tell me what they mean, what they are, except that they're evil. You're telling me they're evil and that you must fight them - but why?

Worry less about your ryhyme sceme - your form is too sparse to make this flow - some more descriptives, filling out your images would be of great help.  Don't tell me about them - show me what they are.  Make me afraid, make me feel your fear.

I hope this is of help.

first of all i wasn't trying to "bump" my poem! I had to respond to me own poem in order to put it in my private library so i could find it again easier! Second of all the whole point is that you don't know what the wraiths are! They are whatever you make them out to be!

WB,
This is a clever idea, but the you have been much too spare with the words.The short lines invite a fast paced read and it starts off with a good iambic rythmn, but breaks down in the middle and trips the tongue.
