A fire burns,
a shadow falls.
A wolf returns,
an eagle calls.
But through my eyes,
all i see.
A worl of lies,
leading to me.

Evil, real evil, is the taking of a human life. Whether a  man would be dying, even eventually… it doesn’t matter. If God does exist… this life, every

A dark poem: quite short, but to the point. The rhyme scheme was done well, although simple. The only suggestions I have aren't major ones, so feel free to ignore me, as I too, am somewhat new to PIP:

1/ Punctuation and spelling are important to most poems. Punctuation helps the poem flow, and lets the reader make sense of it. Spelling is also a small factor that even I can have trouble with. *grumble* If these two are done correctly in a poem, the entire structure looks neater, and it will be easier to read and understand. Of course, there are exceptions...

2/ The last line was a bit off, flow-wise. Maybe you could try: "That leads to me" or something along those lines. Try playing around with it. Syllables and stresses are complex things to work with in a poem, but once you've mastered that concept, your poem will definately flow better. If you don't know what I mean, I'd be happy to explain. Just let me know. *smiles*

Other than that, the poem was well done. Keep up the writing!

thank you very much. i was thinking about something different for the end, but i guess i just didn't think enough. *chuckles* and for the spelling, my keyboard is acting up, so it isn't all my fault, but thanks again!

Forever,

This is indeed a deep, dark poem. I liked it though.

The short lines in this really keep the flow of this good, sometimes keeping it simple is the best way to go.  i think you have a good base if you wanted to do a little more with this.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.
