As the Crows Gathered
As the Crows Gathered
By: Adam M. Snow
Surrounded by bodies of murder
the flocking and squawk arose.
Score of many rows on girder
feast of death drew the crows.
One to carry souls of many;
one onto life beyond life.
Yet was not the foe-of any-
to leave this world of strife.
The crows they flock,
they flock, they squawk;
flapping their wings tremendously.
They caw, they pecked,
they grew many in score
groups gathered more and more.
Blackened the sky with their endless flutter;
"But what of this?" I utter.
"My days are long now being nighted.
The crows around have united."
Feathers falling, covering the ground with black;
everywhere I look, it covers every crack.
The thought of death surrounds us all
before the crows, life will fall.
The ominous bank of crows like a cloud,
covers the world like an endless shroud.
Leaving I, overwhelm with fear
it is death lurking near.
The crows they gathered all in vast;
all is dark than a shadow cast.
They prey the lost and many more,
time has come for death to bore.

seriously i love it...
I really enjoyed this peom, it is fairly simple and the concept is easy to grasp, it uses rhyme, to give it an almost 'catchy' feel and leaves almost a cliff hanger at the end. I enjoyed reading it.
I hate gothic peotry, and especially this peom, i dont know what is wrong with people that write gothic poetry, but they are more like emos than goths, like 'emotionally unstable' it is sinester and considering we are dong it in english i hate it even more. although it is fairly interesting as each poem tells a story about the individal that wrote it. i am looking at the qualities in this poem, such as rhyme, rhythm, simplisity and cliff hangers.
