Silence Sleeps
An eldritch horror in quatrains18 total reviews
Comment from GWHARGIS
This was a very unique form of horror poetry. It was like shifting shadows or bumps in the night. Nothing scary you can put your finger on but still enough to send Shivers down your spine. Great job. Gretchen

Thank you.

An excellent entry for the Three by Four poem contest. H.P. Lovecraft would be pleased with this poem done in 3 syllable words. Not an easy task. Good luck in the contest.

I like the poem very much, it conveys the eerie quality well. The choice of art to illustrate it is apt. It has a nice rhyme and flow. I like the three syllable style of the lines. Very good effort. Good luck!

It looks great! Happy to revise my review. Best wishes!

I tried to give a reviewing Star but I just ran out.

No problem, thanks for the thought. I'm out, too, & I feel badly--there are so many helpful people I'd like to give one to. Cheers!

End of the month I don't think anyone has any left. I gave my last one yesterday.
Comment from Jesse James Doty
This unusual poem works quite well with its different rhyme scheme and its horror effects that go beyond creative to the extreme poetic wonderment of it all.
I love the choice of clever words and the emotional response from this reader to the words is full of vigor and fright.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
I like the way the horror of your 3 by 4 verse evolves, giving quite a chilling sense of anticipation in this succinctly expressed format. I would just draw you to 'cold and alone' which actually has 4 syllables while all the other lines are spot on. You could omit the 'and.' Good luck in the contest! Debbie

eerie! i love the end. we all yearn for iron bars once in a while. sometimes more than others. you've really made the typically fictional genre blend beautifully with reality.

Thank you for your review, what error did you spot to justify this 4 star review?

I really like what you have written here in this hard form, though if I may
"Cold and alone" this line may need to be looked at, the read and message in your poem is great and the rhyme works wonderfully, best wishes or your contest****kahpot

Excellent entry for the three by four poem contest. The presentation is basic but nice.
Good syllables count and connection between lines.
Good luck in the contest.
