...Surface Shadows

By SolApathy

Into the shadows of vapors unknown
They roam
Shadow men of thoughts --sown
Our minds-- their brutal home
Memories are their fuel
Thriving on the darkness of being cruel
Playgrounds of bitter thoughts-The damage they wrought
Into the past they cast hooks into the forgotten
Bringing to the surface all the rotten
Shadow men are my timely demise
As they rip away the smile of my disguise

    PFFTTT....that’s not a poem. It’s not long enough and it’s just thrown together with descriptions and a rhythm that is lacking. I do not accept this.

    yes absolutely. in 7 minutes it should have at least 30 lines, iambic pentameter, and at least three themes based off of the 2 words "shadow men" that you gave me lol
