"The Mad Man And The Seven Demons" / Demons On The Skyline - A Poem By Mich Silversun (2) (3) (4)
The Demons Inside Me by Ymix94(m): 5:23pm On Aug 11, 2015 |
The demons inside me
One on the right and one on the left
Weighing one'forty grams each
Their hidings as obscure as the dark
They work diabolically, typical of a devil. I protect and maintain them Yet, they turn my blood and water Against me They use my arteries, veins and plexus To plague me They made me to be drinking water like An elephant in the wild Devouring anything green like an hopper In the field. Alfa and Omega of what I eat and what I drink When I sleep and when to wake They call the stones and invite d' tumor They made nephritis their governor And together they cause a failure Starting a war that will not end until I breathe my last. Mephistophelean they replicate Armistice I long for, but these my fiendish Friends would not gree Show me d' exit door O yee good friends Let me rot with these daemons Beneath d earth that torment like hell. Now I'd change my mind to fight Ready to lead a war for my aspirations And dreams Anyway to avoid this war? No I guess. How I wish I were not created with my "KIDNEYS" tormenting me n wanting Me dead. Dedicated to a friend recuperating from a kidney failure...My first time of writing...

Ymix94:You should do it arrange it again, organization is key to poetry, the way it is its in prose form. |

Ymix94: Just remove the space that you used in starting each lines. Then try to properly punctuate your poems so that it would have meaning while reading... I tried a little in the punctuation.. Above all, you did great. Nice poem bro! |

Ymix94:Well you can start by reading other poems and types of poems. Poems have types and according to the type is how you arrange them. But you can start by arranging them into stanzas. Then you can proceed from there... |

joseph1832: Boss! ![]() Ymix94: Erm... just click on "modify" then check each of the lines (there is a space that started each line of yours in the poem) delete those spaces and you're good to go... Better still... go to the one I edited and quote then see how I did them. Get it? 1 Like |

You seem to understand your friends' predicament well. Cleaver use of figurative language and imagery. Nice job! ![]() 1 Like |
