Diamond In Black

With broken wills...and poisoned pills
Darkness groomed with a long black vale
With shimmering shadows...like a rusty rose
Twinkling in twilight with colors pale

Glimmering glows...from head to toes
The blackness runs through veins
Starlit smile...only lasts awhile
Only the shining silence remains

Sparkling speckles of light...is why I write
Dark matter oozing from a black hole
A Black Diamond...like a singing siren
Within the depths of the Soup Bowl.

Hi WW, a deep and excellent poem on the theme of the contest. Dark it may be but there is nothing wrong with dark. Poetry comes in oh so many different colours and different shades of light and dark. I love the content of this write. It flows so easily down the page, the rhythm flowing well. Your words so easily take us into the heart of your vision. this has to be a seven. Hugs....Mike. XX

There is nothing wrong with having a little darkness in your writing. It may not be the most popular style of poetry, but you must stay true to yourself... I know this all too well... Always keep writing, WW. This poem is really beautiful and I love the rhyming in it!!
