for The Darkness Closes 'Round

Brilliant. Each of the four stanzas was perfectly identical, rhyme and rhythm scheme-wise, which in itself is incredibly difficult to do. The only thing I would recommend is making the last line "Aground" instead of "Onto the ground," but other than that, it's absolutely perfect. It really portrays the hopelessness, but not overly strongly. There's some beautiful language and excellent symbolism. I like the repitition, too, and the short lines: they make it original. Really good work; I love this.

Great job! This is just a wonderful piece. It reminds me of a book I read once, that was composed of all poems.

I think this method for emphasizing really works. I love the last few lines...it gives such a sense of detachment. To me that is what death is like. Like right before you die your spirit leaves your body and you can watch yourself die...anyways great poem.
