Gods right hand

Secrets scaled for afterthought
Thinly veiled their hearts
They wought
When dark is near
And nearer naught
Their  fate is sealed
And future fraught

Beneath the moonlight
Gods right hand
My minds eye lost
In low tide sand

on your profile you say

"All of you who would criticize poets are like the drunken roman soldier who threw rocks at Jesus wilst carrying the cross." Which is very fair, we crit poems, not poets, but beware over-glorifying our "sullen art and craft", it sounds a bit like we shouldn't crit at all. I found this poem difficult to understand, how the title related to the rest of the poem, what it means. But it sounds nice read aloud. Do you think you may have stretched a bit much for -ought rhymes? Cheers, Jess, Reprehensibly irrepressible,

Thank you Jess...

The title means zero to me, I just give em a name to keep track of them at the time I post. the ought thing is new, It seems OK for this poem but problly wont use again. This poem contains much imagery and it seems that, I dont know how it got there, which I dont understand. Club Special
