I will be happy to offer my reaction to your work and, based on over 40 years of teaching poetry, organizing, and conducting poetry workshops, working as a book review editor for an international poetry magazine, authoring five books of poetry and two textbooks on teaching poetry, send along my thoughts on ways to make your poem stronger and more impactful.

A BLACK WINDOW (1 reply)

Somewhere on the barren land 

 

Stands a creepy old Kingdom palace

 

Destroyed , devasted yet a pleasure to eyes 

 

There stands a blue eyes filled with dreams of happiness 

 

Happiness that never passes into nothingness

 

 

 

Long long long ago there stood a Kingdom

 

Filled with joyous Street like times of London

 

But then came a storm of dust, a storm of bad omen that took everything away

 

There was a voice from a black window

 

Window that still holds a story of past 

 

Still dreams of world back in time to make a return

 

 

 

You never know when the wheel of fortune returns

 

Black window is still the place where light rays extend their beauty

 

The blue eyes get teary every evening

 

Like waiting for a bliss from heaven

 

And then every morning still dream of good old tales

 

Tales that have been printed in the books of history
