Poetry / Inferno

Interesting..actually through out the reading of your poem I invisioned a prist who had given into his human desires….I could be way off on my thoughts but it was a very powerful poem in it’s own right

There is a duality in this poem—a striking proximity of opposites, like darkness and light, like the two faces of moon. You have so craftily weaved these extremities together that the whole idea feels like a cobweb of contradiction. Your poetry depicts the fighting, the conflict and the whole idea of good and evil dwelling together. It was an awesome read.

Outstanding! A standing ovation from all URBIS users!    

I am giving you a 9. I would give only Wordsworth a 10.

Obviously a personal write. Not sure if this is being written about you or someone you know. l’ve been down several avenues but l’m still uncertain. However, it still grabbed my interest. You’re showing just enough to make it seem like this is a snapshot into an inner turmoil and grief. Some great lines – one being, ‘hand of charity attached to my arm of greed.’ l also think there are some misleading lines to throw the reader off the scent, almost trying to hide the answers that you need, such as, ‘lustful cravings govern my soul’ – could have a hidden agenda. Mmm… intriguing. l feel frustrated at not being able to give a definite definition, a frustration that comes across in the poem itself. l’m no wiser, but feel better for reading it. Enjoyed, thanks.

Gods, that was a good poem. I love how you tied the seven deadly sins and the seven virtues into it! I would suggest not making every line double spaced, because that can make it difficult to read. [just a thought] I liked the descriptions you put in; just enough there to tease us, but not pointing out the obvious as some tend to do with poems. I’m afraid I’m terrible at riddles, so I won’t answer your author’s note…only tell you that I loved the poem and hope to be reading more of your work. Best wishes
