    Never read much of this style but the words are deep, an interesting in a way. I wish I could say more though

    "can we say that there lies fear"
    ['That' just didn't do it for me. It made the line sound forced for syllables.]
    take out 'that' and add an adjective to 'fear' such as, great, dark, deep etc.

    Also, "within the foreboding depths?"
    I counted 8 syllables. 'foreboding' having 4.

    Good stuff though.

    Short formated poems like this are hard to write well, because you only have a little room to share a big message. I like the way you wrote this poem, and I do think you wrote it well. You contenpation of darkness and it's two sides was insiteful and an interesting thought. Thank you for shaping this poem.

    I really enjoyed the connection between the title and the poem. Without the title I would never have realised what the poem was about. Well, for me anyway I was left with a rather haunting feeling, as if you were showing how we may fear the dark but with faith we will find the beauty within.
    I enjoyed the word usage espeically "therein". A wonderful sedoka, a beautiful, haunting write.

    Well, for starters, im not an expert with these types of poetry, but as far as diction and intellegible talk goes, this one does deserve a 5.. its kinda short, so i cant say a lot bout it, but from wat i understood from it, its truthful and honest.. does make a reader think..

    keep going
    take care

I never saw a sedoka poem before but now I want to write one! Excellent word choices! I love the word "foreboding" Idk why but thats like one of my faverote words and you used it in your poem! 5/5

    A very nice write, although i don't really understand poems like that normally this one showed emotion and i like it heaps. Keep writing.

    Its odd but it seems to me like something that would be said in a movie trailer for a cool film. Love the words like "vast" and "foreboding" and "majestic" in it because they help make it bold.
