Loved this one!! Some hope of a future appearing--what we all seek so desperately, and few truly find. I found the meter in this one more user-friendly, with all the strenths I've pointed out prior. Onward!! later and God bless, shy

I think I was really finding my stride with this chapter, so the iambic meter was flowing more easily and I'd given up trying to vary it, settling into steady couplets of 8 and 6 syllables. Thakn you once again :-)

Keep up the great work, Mike. My favorite lines here are :
The birth of possibilities
then burgeoned in my mind.
I have to admit I was a tiny bit disappointed at the Adam and Eve reference... a bit obvious, given the situation, but that's ok, just my humble opinion.

Oh no, I've been obvious! lol, I always try to avoid such things, but I thought a dark take could add some spice to the tale. We shall see how far it gets them :-)

Very nice piece of poetry. I admire the way you can write lengthy poems, maintaining the rhymes and rhythm for great stretches. I am going to go back and read the beginning of your "story". Thanks for using my art.

I had to go back to the very beginning to really appreciate this . . .this . . . this epic poem. What marvelous imagry! Somewhat offputting at times because it is so full of extreme emotion and introspection, for me, somewhat confusing because a thread I thought to follow suddenly made a sharp turn into another unrelated (to my understanding) thought. I liked the lines in the very beginning "The sun, these days behind the smog;
Black Moon, dead light obscene. The scene these words depicted sets the mood for the poem.

Wow.... mixed emotions.
Great writing here. I wasnt sure what I'd find in here and whether it would be dark and not to my liking. But the end note sure does make the read worthwhile.
