This is a poem im working on, but i just thought maybe it could  be finished. Well i will post it anyways enjoy. Also to me this makes no sense.

Flowers withered
Trees bare no leaves only despair
Sadness like a plague covers the land
The grass a tainted orange
A little girl stands in the garden of emptyness
Tears fall from her eyes
Knowning it was over
She wears a skirt red laced with black
Scattered across the lands
Humans dead
Blood stainds the ground
The face of evil has struck mankind
The sun hides beyond the clouds of darkness
Evil stands above the lands
No one stands in its way
A twisted summer day
Quietness feels the city streets
The buildings burn
A wrath of destruction
What was said no one cared
What was said no ever listened
The face of evil has struck mankind
Evil stands above the lands
Darkness shrouds the earth
No where to turn
No where to go
A twisted summer day

Welcome Nolon...

I like the thoughts in this - very dark in places (hence your forum choice?)

One small suggestion, you might like to check the spelling in places

Hope to see more of you..

Hokies:

emptyness - emptiness
knowning - knowing
stainds - stains

and in your reply - normaly - normally

I appreciate that most of those were likely typos rather than actually errors - it's often good to run a spellcheck in Word before posting.

cheers

Would concur with you on this: Do not quite understand the full meaning, but that's the joy of writing...no one ever fully understands the piece, even the author!

Nevertheless, I found this piece to be...hmmm...how do I word this right?...disturbing! The images that were created were graphic and vile, of corpses twisted and broken with red rivers flowing about them...I enjoyed this quite a bit!!

One meaning that I thought of while reading this piece would be the loss of innocence: A young girl on the verge of entering the "adult world," where death and pain exist without concern. Very powerful...Another thought was that of the atom bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as everything near those places would've been grotesque and soul-shattering to see. Then again, I'm rather partial to Asian society--esp. Japan--so that might be a little biased!! >; P

Whatever the meaning of this poem, it was beautiful and vile...powerful and degrading...Much enjoyed!!!!
