    Azzza,

    You are talking about nuclear bombs here, aren't you?

    Beautifully written, especially the last line really hit a nerve with me!

    Good job!

    *hugs*

    What a sad poem. Wonderful imagery and word choice.

    Kingdom of prophecy, commandments and trinity
    Faiths flourishes throughout the century
    Revelations seems to provide no remedy
    Oh God when will I ever see tranquility?

    This last stanza really grips the heart. It is so sad what the world is becoming. If only peace and tranquility would fill the hearts and souls of people once more.
    Excellent job!
    Take Care

    The only problem I had with this piece was the sentence lengths and structure; other than that, there was some great imagery here, and you've used some execllent descriptions:

    'As it kissed the ground, planting a mushroom
    The earth is left sunken, engraving myriad cracks
    Tidal waves of bodies coalesce in mass volumes
    As cross and crescent domes were coated in black'

    Probably the best stanza, really enjoyed it.

    I'm not sure about 'flying abilities', it just jolts the flow a bit.

    Another good write from you though

    Vivid images portrayed by your words. This verse was especially touching to me because I had never thought how innocent children could mistake rockets as flying angels, not knowing those rockets will kill.

    Capsules that soar in sparkles
    Enthralls children with their flying abilities
    Mistaking them for wingless glowing angels
    Not knowing in seconds, there will be casualties

    Well done. 5/5

    Azzza my friend..
    I read this poem once but I had to be free-minded to comment and say my honest opinion.
    First off, you did such a fabulous work with the descriptions and the wording, I can see that you almost worded is perfectly.
    The ending was my fave part.

    Looking up to the chalky sky
    Clouds fills with raining missiles
    Showering down before the innocent's eyes
    Rendering thousands to live in exile

    - This stanza held so much pain and killing of the innocents' lives. very greatly penned.

    Little things to criticize:
    - Some lines were too long for an aBcB rhyme.
    especially this one:
    "Not knowing in seconds, there will be casualties"
    - Maybe you'd like to replace it with this one.? :
    "Unaware in seconds, will be casualties".
    I'm just suggesting anyway.

    "Clouds fills with raining missiles"
    - did you mean "Clouds filled with" ?

    "Faiths flourishes throughout the century"
    - this one should be "faith flourishes" OR "faiths flourish", depends on which one you wanted to pen.

    "Revelations seems to provide no remedy"
    - this also has a grammatical mistake..should be "revelations seem".

    - As for punctuations..I suggest you place a comma after "Oh God" and your poem kinda lacks some punctuations.

    Other than that..well done with the poem :) I really love it.
    Write on

    "Land of the golden dome
    Decorated in crimson hue
    Artworks made up of flesh and bones
    Patterns resembling love ones you knew"

    ^^What a beautiful opening..so much melancholy yet nevertheless so elegantly written.

    "Looking up to the chalky sky
    Clouds filled with raining missiles
    Showering down before the innocent's eyes
    Rendering thousands to live in exile"

    ^^I don't think you need "the" in the third line, it seems to flow better without for me.

    "Capsules that soar in sparkles
    Enthralls children with their flying abilities
    Mistaking them for wingless glowing angels
    Not knowing in seconds, there will be casualties"

    ^^One of the strongest stanzas in the poem, the emotion and depth and meaning here is incredible, wonderfully penned.

    "As they kissed the ground, planting mushrooms
    The earth is left sunken, engraving myriad cracks
    Tidal waves of bodies coalesce in mass volumes
    As cross and crescent domes were coated in black"

    ^^I'm finding this piece to become stronger and stronger throughout, I don't want it to end.

    "Kingdom of prophecy, commandments and trinity
    Faiths flourish throughout the century
    Revelations seem to provide no remedy
    Oh God, when will I ever see tranquility? "

    ^^...I don't even know what to say here, except that I'm literally blown away..this is a beautiful, moving and thought provoking write.

    The imagery you create throughout this piece is stunning..creates such striking visuals in the reader's mind, while the content and wording are just as beautifully written..

    Fantastic write.
