Jayne asked in Arts & HumanitiesPoetry · 4 years ago

Can you help me with this poem? Can it make you talk about what it s saying? Is it deep?

A scarlet night,

the blood is laid

on softened ground

the ransom paid.

A sickle moon

cuts the bloom

and dying songs

are sung out of tune.

The shadows bow to a fickle

heart, innocently shot by an icy dart

and carried away by a horse and cart.

Scarlet night, oh, bloody night

it shimmers and reels cast

with fright, bubbles and seeps until day light shows us what has happened

Update:

Can't you see the man in a hat sitting on the ground? I'm not stupid. You're stupid.

Update 2:

I'm a website tester. One of my checks is that no one really reads the questions here. You don't answer the questions. This site is a fish bowl of slob o berate each other. I just joined in.

Update 3:

I've got to switch the key boards here.

Update 4:

I've got to switch the key boards here.

Update 5:

I've got to switch the key boards here.

    I like it, well written and a smooth read with a graceful

    cadence.

    Okay, I know who Gigapussy is, but who are you Jayne?

    Its good until the ending where the rhyme scheme seems to be thrown put.

    Breaking it up helps too.

    A scarlet night,

    the blood is laid

    on softened ground

    the ransom paid.

    A sickle moon

    cuts the bloom

    and dying songs

    are sung out of tune.

    The shadows bow to a fickle heart

    innocently shot by an icy dart,

    carried away by a horse and cart.

    Scarlet night, oh, bloody night

    it paralyzes us with fright.

    It's a battle isn't it. Through the night a war is waged. There are casualties, brutal ones. And in the daylight all can see the blood and what happened. Yes this is deep. Gigepie has no brain so disregard anything it says. I think it's cool. Better then any o f these magpies could do or even understand. I understand the words and the imaged it brings to mind. I don't any of these things could understand it. Take it to a really good poetry place where real poets are.

    The random use of the punctuation is pretty stupid. But then, the random rhyme scheme and the inexplicably long last line are pretty stupid too.
