Eve Roper Poet Verse

Azrael Does Devour

While fitful, impetuous, tears force to submissive dirge
an enshrouded grey shadow within mine afflicted heart.
In ghastly, pallid emptiness; beguiling Azrael does cajoles.
"Ah, Tis only, immolation that can enchant and subdue Azrael."

Michelle Faulkner February 21, 2020 at 4:15 PM Brilliant use of antique words, such as 'dirge' and 'enshrouded' - it sets the mood for haunted rooms - should do well in the contest -

Daniel Turner February 20, 2020 at 8:41 AM Eve, I think you have captured a bit of Poe with this one. I love the macabre feel of it. "immolation" great word for a Poe-ish like poem. Good luck!
