Another poem that says there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I guess it's not healthy to moan all the time. Pretty good, I liked the "metaphors" (lack of a better word).

4/5

Very interesting write Mike. I enjoyed the read, very poetic and fluent. I do have to say I'd like to see punctuation since I'm a stickler on that, but overall it is well written. Keep up the fantastic work as always.

Peace, Joe

I have to say that this poem was very interesting i read it about three times to try and understand it a bit more but each time i read it i understood it a little bit more making it more of an enjoyable read. 5/5

Hey mike. I really enjoyed the poem. The use of your metaphors are great..I especially enjoyed the entry of the poem. It is very creative and unique...making me want to read more of your work :)

I would rather be deaf and dumb
Than to be caught without a thumb
The answer to a complex riddle
Is rarely to be found in the middle

*Hmmm...this is an interesting way to start a poem. I don't really know what's going on. But I'll kep reading.*

Pentacles can be worn on rings
And all of the other little things
Pentagrams point to sacrifice
A scapegoat to pay the price

*I'm still confused. I like the diction and the periodic syntax and the flow is good too, but I don't know what you're trying to say.*

Angels and demons understand
Numbers based on the hand
The tail does not wag the dog
Reach for the sky past the fog

*I would change the second line to "Numbers based upon the hand" sounds better to me that way*

The blind feels what lingers
With their heart, not their fingers
Seeing a soul has greater worth
Than anything on this earth

*I like this stanza. It makes more sense than the others.*

Wise men have traveled so far
Following the eastern star
A blessed star with no curse or hex
Pointing to peace like an index

*I don't know. Maybe I'm just too young to understand this poem. But it was well written. Keep it up. Nik*

This was a nice poem but I didn't understand it entirely but it was still a good poem. The Flow was good and so was the rhyming. The imagery in this poem was fine but not the best and all this was a really nice poem. Good job.

This was amazing! You have a brilliant mind sir. The words in this are flawless. They created an atmosphere of the creativity of one mind. You pin pointed many of life's faults. How many people assume the blind miss out. But the other senses are just as important. And one's heart is one of the necessities of life. It allows us to feel just like any of our other senses. You mention demons
and angels. Life's full of both. Most people use them in human form. But in all truth they live in our hell and our hell. If you believe in the bible that is. I have formed the opinion that you are speaking of the bible in this piece. It is an congruent idea to me. Or perhaps the code is one you have set yourself. One that you have surrounded your life with. I don't know why but this poem reminds me of the Sixth Sense With Bruce Willis. Yet you speak of the eastern star. I must say I have not a clue as to which star you refer to. Perhaps the star that is in the bible that led the men to Jesus? I am now coming to believe this is so. I love this piece. It holds many volumes of faith. And I can concur that you yourself are very religious. Bravo for both the poem and your religiousness.

This was very good!!
I really enjoyed it!

This poem had incredible flow, a nice theme rhymes and was wonderfully crafted. Though I found that the very first stanza seemed confusing, it gradually became clearer and it's idea more flowing. 5/5 Well Done.

I like thethe pun use throughout this poem. I enjoy your unique writing styles, it is really one of a kind. Well done, 5/5, kel.

I have to agree with Mouris (It happened one night) of him about the quality of greatness..Most of the poems i've read from you were portraying of whats going on in the world today. Lots of words of wisdom burried within each words in the poem. A very possitive message was conveyed just too sad few people only know...
