    Wow a wonderful poem I may have figured out the emotions but I'm not sure,,,a terrific great poem a greatly magnificent written poem with awesome wording as well 5/5

    My favorite stanza though the entire poem was great

    Walking along a forest path not yet wearily
    I think I'm sure I know this path, my
    footfalls eerily. What's clear
    to hear but still unseen. Hidden in high and
    lofty tree. A lonely cry thru
    quaking leaves floating in golden sea
    Black bird, black bird, do you caw for me?

    Thanks, Innocent...

    The poem is about mentally instability, which is represented by the black bird. The forest is representitive of any place. Some start out life with a sound mental state and knowingly, uwilling and slowly go 'crazy' over the years. The forest seems familiar at times and foreign at others...depending on the level of delusion one may suffer. Though one might fight the inevitible, eventually, the crow comes calling.

    It was chilling :)

    And the metaphor of the black bird representing some 'issue's was really in the right place and it kind of provoked my thoughts.

    Great job :)

    I don't know how I missed this one. You did a great job with the metaphors, really great. Some are so hard to figure out while your's were creative but understandable. Awesome

    This was dark, it chilled me to the bone. the repetition gave it a haunting touch. I could somehow see your loneliness through your words.

    Well done,

    5/5 Ingrid

    A cold dark feeling is created in this poem where a mind is lost in darkness uncertain where it is heading. Each stanza has a vivid image..excellent!

    "Walking along a forest path not yet wearily
    I think I'm sure I know this path, my
    footfalls eerily. What's clear
    to hear but still unseen. Hidden in high and
    lofty tree. A lonely cry thru
    quaking leaves floating in golden sea
    Black bird, black bird, do you caw for me?"
    The beginning is very out there and kind of dark I like it.

    "Laughter fills this leafy path, this forest I
    surely know. I fear, I fear, I fear
    the call. Do you hear the crow? I pick my
    pace to fight the grasps of the crisp and early fall.
    This forest path the laughter still. Black bird, black bird,
    please don't raise your call."
    The imagery is so vivid right here its outstanding. Its almost like a old mans tale that little kids would be scared of.

    "This familiar worn path in these familiar woods
    it's a place I don't recall.
    My path is weary and confused,
    my mind feeble and flawed.
    black bird, black bird. caw. caw. caw."
    This ending went so well and brought it all together, the poem was dark and I loved how you made the reader feel in this.
