The eerie picture with the figure's red eyes establishes the mood for this poem well. I admired the shape of the Lanturne and the compelling plea for help. Best wishes in the contest- Joan

This was an excellent Lanturne poem, beautifully crafted, a cry for help from a tortured soul.
Graphics are fantastic and a brilliant picture to accompany your words.
Have a lovely evening

A very well-written Lanturne poem. We often feel overwhelmed by daily events and feel that we are in a darkened place where there is no escape from.

Ohla, talk about darkness engulfing soul - totally recognize the "dark", shadow side
of my soul - I believe it carries trauma and memories of past lives in this incarnation, in order to keep learning and evolving...until finally becomes "unburdened", pure light, awareness. Super pic to complement poem - if crows, symbol for shape-shift, transformation, keeper of sacred law. Raven has similar connotations. See "Medicine Cards" by Jamie Sams and David Carson. Good luck in contest !

Hi Kerry , thanks for sharing your lanturne poem . My what a darkness spreads over your words. You have depicted that feeling so well in such few words.. and the image accompanying your verse strengthens that dark and somber feeling.. The colour scheme black on red works perfectly. Thanks for the ride.. and best of luck to you in the contest.. cheers and smiles, mel xx

Help, indeed! This is a perfect little Lanturne which told a story about a person's decent into darkness. She cannot help herself and is drowning in darkness. I see it as a poem about mental illness or depression.

thank you for sharing. I wish you success in the contest.

Very nicely written. Gets straight to the point, and the final word reads like the Satori of a Haiku. Very well composed for such a brief poetic form.

Conjures up the Krell's demons of the id, or the black essence of evil that killed Tasha Yar. From the rules, I think this is a properly written Lanturne poem for the contest. Excellent.

I enjoyed your poem for the lanturne contest. Good job with the syllable count per line. Your words & art pair nicely. The message is expressed well. One would need help in that situation.

Good job & thanks for sharing.

Best wishes in the contest. Jan
