ssshhh...softly,
   in succulence...
seemingly
   sad silence sleeps...
suspended--
   safe--a sure surpass--
      saving souls--
save sorrow's sweep.

---Hear her--
Herald!
   Hell hath horror!
(Help her...)
   Heal...
Belief be borrowed.
   Whoredom
hearts of habit,
   hollows...
serenely,
   silently,
      free follows...
tortured,
   treasured,
       taunts tomorrows--

Silence screams...
   she softly sorrows.


*did not quite know where to post, but because it is a "workshop challenge", I am open for critique...
just remember...I know "wrastlin' moves.."

serenely,
   silently,
      free follows...
tortured,
   treasured,
       taunts tomorrows--

Silence screams...
   she softly sorrows.

==========================
dont know what the challenge was...
(i see the letter repetition)
but i do so love this poem...
its soooo....YOU ...
and thats a good mmm mmm good thing...
love you
me
=================

ache of again
angst and anger
always alone

feel the flame
feed the fire
fear the fall

depressed and denied
desire and destiny
detach and depart

sigh of sweet sin
screams below skin
suffer in silence

say my name
make me insane
never again the same ...

ache of again
ache of again
ache
ache
ache ....


ache.

Firstly delighted to see Janagator back among us even if it is only a flying visit.
now on to serenity's poem, I have no idea what the challenge is but what it is it seems to me that you aced it. Excellent poem.

hey there serenity...lovely poem, i love the alliterations very much....they flow well..being that u are open for some critique i was wondering if perhaps the line..
"Belief be borrowed."
should be excluded from the piece b/c u have the H's and the S's and the T's...but u have only one line of B's and it seems out of place u know?...as for whoredom i just wanted to say that i think it was a nifty idea to have that there b/c it sounds like H but really begins with W... i like that a lot....besides that serenity i thought this poem was lovely and you truly done a beautiful job expressing these thoughts...all i suggested was simply an opinion  
much respect.

Thank you Jn...and that line...well it had me scratching my own head...but I could not think of another way to express the idea without changing the alliterative (?) format...any suggestions?

serenity i wish i could help you maximally but  i am unable to do that respectively b/c i don't know what exactly your intentions were for your poem..however i shall simply put in one line and see if it remains true to ur theme...sorry i couldn't be more of a help  

* To make it even harder I just realized that they rhyme with another word...that makes it so much more difficult  ... let me see what I can do *

---Hear her--
Herald!
   Hell hath horror!
(Help her...)
   Heal...
{{Heresy hauler.}}
   Whoredom
hearts of habit,
   hollows...
serenely,
   silently,
      {{sadly swallows}}

i noticed that the F's were there to and i thought maybe that should go too..i tried to remain true to ur work..i hope it was somewhat insightful even if they don't make much sense
