Tombstone(acrostic)

by The Poet Behind The Poems   Oct 1, 2012


Trapped forever, under a blank stone
Obviously nobody will come to set me free.
My name? You will find out soon enough
Being banished for surviving is a crime itself,
Seems unfair for you mortals to eat your prey.
Try as you might you won't hide me any longer
Only you are to blame, you think your superior;
Now it's time to reap what you sow, spending
Eternity in a box under., the tombstone.

    The tone of this poem is the best feature in my opinon. Especially this part:

    My name? You will find out soon enough
    Being banished for surviving is a crime
    itself,
    Seems unfair for you mortals to eat your
    prey.
    ^
    The way you used mortals made the persona more powerful, it made it more memorable.

    Only you are to blame, you think your
    superior;
    ^
    your should be you're.

    Your tone in this piece was very strong and loud. Its like you were aiming to be heard with every words you said, and oh yes you definitely will be heard with such a piece. The choice of words you chose were very smart, and considering this was anacrostic piece with limited lines you actually did the title its justice.

    Well done!

    I loved the tone most in this piece, and too be honest, the power in your tone almost doesnt make this a sad piece for me.

    Now it's time to reap what you sow, spending
    Eternity in a box under., the tombstone.
