Dig my grave [Parquette]

by Infected with His Deadly Love   Apr 2, 2007


Dig my grave and bury me
As the knife gouges my skin deep and blood pours out
Blood stains the carpet and my screams go unheard
Tonight, my dear I am setting my soul free

Dig my grave and bury me
Can't you hear me scream, can't you hear me shout?
I'm lying here alone getting lathered.
As the knife goes deeper I can't live without.

Dig my grave and bury me
These questions I ask, go unanswered
I am not the girl you love or want, I breakout.
The knife's sharp blade plus me equals butchered

Dig my grave and bury me
One more time and its going to end my drought
The knife is in my hand, eyes are watered
My pain ends now, no more being tortured.

    This, my dear, is excellently written.
    You did a great job with a style that I find rather hard.
    The imagery creates vivid pictures and the flow is good throughout.
    The vocabulary is a treat and I thought the first stanza was a great opener and from then on it just kept getting better and better.
    Wonderful work!

    Having attempted a parquette or two in my time i know how difficult it is when you have a fixed syllable count.
    There are just a few lines such as

    "These questions go unanswered"

    ...that need to have some more syllables added, but in spite of it, i think it's excellent.
    You should have a good chance in the contest
    5/5

    A very graphic poem, over all nicely written, and I loved that you decided to write a different form of poetry than the usual standard, those can be really hard but hands down you did a very nice job. It was kind of hard to understand in a few places.... like

    As the knife goes deeper I can't live without.
    ^^can't live without what??

    Awesome job on these kinds of poems. I look foreward to reading more from you
