So well written this poem and story myth resounds with the power of not only the pen but the human heart which as the sacrifice of the Aztecs to the sun god is taken still beating. This poem still beats in its words and meaning of a culture long past a sacrifice to another god more brutal.

You weave culture, nature and emotion into the fabric of modern day and in this blend a metaphor for myth melting into reality. A most lovely poem and a fave

With a moderate to tough difficulty level, acrostic poetry, a staple of the genre but not quite celebrated as one might think it could be. 🕊️🙏🏻

Quite a work Matthew this poem walks one through the lives of many rich and poor, young and old, powerful and common. It makes the point that in the end we all end up in the same place and it is what we do here that makes the difference. Well rhymed and flowing with good meter it carries the reader on the journey leaving them outside the gate back in life. Lovely and a fave

A beautiful description of nature and its ways of survival. A metaphor perchance as well that can be applied to people that as predators on the unwary thrive. Very well rhymed and written a fave

What money will do to convince one to bend over close one\'s eyes and pretend. A fun poem that serves as a greater metaphor for values and what they are worth.

sorenbarrett said:
So nicely rhymed and metered it tells a mythical story in great imagery and detail. This so clearly depicts the creature and begs the question of metaphor that eludes the mind, just out of reach like the creature itself. This is a fave
