Sinful Beauty

Her lips were soft
If I could tell
Eyes like a cat
Life in a shell


Hair, forbidden
None on her head
If Hell could sing
She'd wake the dead


A stroll with her
Takes you to the grave
She’ll suck your blood
With a well chosen blade


String you a long
And hang you on high
One simple kiss
Now you will die!

Don't get it really..

but "she would", I think, is fine the way it is. Pacing is good, I like it but it really doesn't make much sense to me. Which isn't a bad thing. I like the way you've written it, the words you used, I get a weird picture in my head, changing with each stanza. Kudos, for confusing me yet keeping me interested {[ It's not what people say about you, it's what they whisper - Errol Flynn ]}

Shadowteller,

I just love the way your poetry drips darkness, like blood, across the screen. I also think your theme is good, I hope I got it right. but I did stumble on your rhythm in a few places. for example, would you consider trying Eyes like a cat, life in a shell in the first stanza, fourth line or Her hair forbidden None on her head If Hell could sing She'd wake the dead ??? I feel it to be more melodious that way, but it's up to you! I'm looking forward to reading more of your pieces, we could use more shadows around here! your Proprietress

Thank you

very much for your feedback. They are very good suggestions and I like them. I'm not sure if I'll change it for now, but I'll definitely will consider them, I will notify you if I do. Thank you again. Hmmm, your suggestions are compelling though.

it is always good

to stay open to feedback. but it is most important to listen to your pieces, in the end, they should let you know what is right for them! so I'm also glad that you thought it over for awhile. those are some fine character traits you have there, my respect goes out to you. your Proprietress

Shadowteller,

my sweet proprietress has hit the nail on the head with her suggestions. Well, she tends to do that. Your poem in its updated form is really great. Gothic greetings, ~Nina
