Notes About The Poem

The Graveyard - Visual 3

Here forsaken souls are gathered;

Gathered in night’s cold wrap of woe.

Woe to those who now are treading;

Treading the paths that lead them here.

Constance La France June 16, 2015 at 5:21 PM Andrea, congratulations on your win in the contest with this awesome poem 7, and thanks for visiting my poem, where bluebirds sing, not for a contest, just me feeling sad today and thinking too much, so being "a poet" I pour the emotion into a poem

Monterey Sirak June 11, 2015 at 12:35 PM Eerie feelings to your poem to match a super scary picture. I am expecting a ghost to dart out from between the gravestones or from between your words.

Daver Austin June 10, 2015 at 1:25 PM Niccolo Paganini, great Italian violin virtuoso of the romantic period, played in the graveyards for the dead and they thought him in league with the devil, when he actually thought he was doing a good thing. I think he would have liked your poem. Love, daver

Kp Nunez June 7, 2015 at 11:03 PM Darkly beautiful, Andrea. I see how it's done correctly now, that even the first word should be same as the last word of the last line. Blessings!
