Jenna Logan Poet Alliteration

Shadows of Somber Skies

She fell from the light, into a world shadowed in gray. 
                                   ~ by poet




An angel pouted to protest her punitive plight
No repentant redemption for her serious sins
Wings waylaid, the fatuous one was felled in flight
And from Heaven hurled; now banishment begins

Resentfully she roams in shadows of somber skies
An enraged expression marring her fractious face
A ranting rebel like the dastardly devil, father of lies
Dwelling in darkness due to her decadent disgrace

No earthly escape will she discover through death
Crows circle and caw, crying out in a clamoring voice
With crass words she crudely curses in banal breath
Wicked wrongdoer, condemned for her corrupt choice

With foolish folly she sorrowfully surrendered her soul
and delves within deep darkened depths for eternity
All alone, there will be no one to comfort and console
From shadows and suffering, she will never break free

She sulks upon sullen stygian shores of the river Styx
without a reprieve or relief from tormenting terror
There's no exit from her eternal eviction as time ticks
for Satan's spawn, shrouded in shame for her error

David Kavanagh December 15, 2021 at 11:52 AM Another fantastic poem Jenna, for the next Malevolent movie, as she’s abandoned into an endless purgatory, alliteration at its best, cheers David Jenna Logan December 15, 2021 at 12:09 PM Thank you for your detailed review, David. It's appreciated.

Victor Buhagiar December 15, 2021 at 9:29 AM That's a lesson we should learn. Even the most evil of man can save his soul if he repents, but not angels because they do not acknowledge God's mercy. Lovely poem with great alliteration. Jenna Logan December 15, 2021 at 12:08 PM Thank you for your analogy, Victor.

Tom Cunningham December 15, 2021 at 9:08 AM Beautiful alliteration Jenna, written in true Poe style. I know this will do well. Tom Jenna Logan December 15, 2021 at 9:28 AM I'm grateful for your comparison to Poe, Tom. I am a fan of his talent, dark as it was composed.

L Milton Hankins December 15, 2021 at 8:55 AM Wow, Jenna, this is a tour de force, I'd say! I think it is exceptionally well-written and deserving of every honor. This is quality poetry at its finest. A FAVE for me. L Milton Hankins December 15, 2021 at 12:22 PM Jenna, I believe his name was Lucifer. Jenna Logan December 15, 2021 at 9:02 AM Thank you so much for the compliments you've given my poem, Milt. I hate the thought of fallen angels, but they have existed since the disloyalty shown by Satan...whatever his name was before he grew jealous of God.
