This was a unique and interesting piece. Love your choice of words and rhyme scheme. Gave me a chill as I read. Nicely done.

Gallows- I like this word-gallows it is so pretty :]
Now seriously, WOW!!!
Filed with superbly described feelings, SO sad, beautiful, it has so deep and greatly made tones, and very creative piece.
Third stanza is incredible, it impress me on every way but this one:

-Crystal frozen sights under my skin linger
more than once I cried in front of the gallows,
mesmerized by the tunes of freedom, then so hollow;
drowned in black shadows lies the sunrise singer.-

^is just perfect, so powerfully and emotionally written.
Well done, wow!

I love how you used the first stanza at the bottom to create a ciurcular narrative to the storyline. Exellent piece xxx alex xxx

I like the repetition of verse one again as the last verse....very powerful. Your rhyme scheme is interesting and works well for this sad piece. Very descriptive , with awesome word choices....nice the way you've used opposites...flowers/blood...innocence/sharp metal.... bitterness/serenity ...as well as the title Black Shadows/Sunrise Singer

Once again you've written something that has a bit more beneath the surface than what is immediately seen on the first read....very well done! 5/5 Take care, Debbie

This was amazing and well said.
i love how it flowed so well.
but id have to say my favorite line was

"ragged puppet on the string followed my thoughts"

i dont know why but it got me thinking of how your a puppet in the world of how everyone wants you to be you know maybe this poem was kinda like that or about but thats what i thought when i hit that line.

keep it up.
keep on writing.
love always and forever.

Wow. so differently beautiful.
It flowed so well from each line to the next.
It was very moving and powerful. i loved it.
