Note: I would really like for this poem to be throughly critiqued...i plan to work on it more..it is the first draft.thanks
Regina

The bounty of forgiveness
Has slumped at my feet
The dejection of failure
Written in the walls of your shadow
Unmerciful you bind me to your hand
A naked rope lies taut against your hand
The perplexity of your distastes
Saturates my mind in harmful conduct
The desolate emotion of your abandonment
Plays havoc onto our hearts
The spoils of your shame
The freedom of life quelled
Rasping knuckles against flesh
The tragedy of humourless love
Principle of regret beg at my hands
The sour imprint has left me paralyzed
The acceleration of your archaic hostility
Has left no options in this battle
It crawls on its hands bound
Its talon feet carve bloody images
The Hoopoe, hops about
Eating your demanding trash
In the winter of our world
The conquest will lay frozen
The battlegrounds shall swallow
The resentment, the love, the desecration
Fraud lays immaculate on his deathbed
Hidden are the shadows
The unfortunates of your mercy
Rebel
Nine-hundred-and-ninety-nine years
Has the bounty of forgiveness lay in still agitation
The rope burns
Tug
The musing of my thoughts, done
The rope hangs me desperately
The final rehearsal of life
Lay me down in the fields of desperation
Mark my passing in the waters of dejection
Place my disquietude in the aggravation of love
Into the solitude of horizon do I walk

"heaven truley knows that thou art false as hell...one that loved not wisely,but too well..she swore..'twas a strange ,'twas passing strange"-othello

Well Regina, I liked this...although, you wanted it broken down...

I find myself loving lines, rather than disliking them. But something that caught my disappointment was how you ended off two lines with "hand".

But, all in all...it was almost as though each line was it's own poem. Now, that was interesting---I don't mind, but to some that sometimes disjointedness could become hard to read.

Me? I loved this---it reminded me of some sort of speech from a dark, gothic play or something. It's neat; I've never had a poem quite do that before.

Keep it up, hun.

good poem, but rather...confusing? perhaps break it down into stanzas? just a thought. hope I helped.

think about this: everyone you know will someday die.
