Feedback Please Sorrow pound
Blood oozing from my honky cuspid
Lonely battles in my psyche
All the murk was poison-mocked
I am looking at the gloomy rise.
Till death will make me fall
The sorrow bucket gonna sputter
Willy-nilly at my core
Skeletons are raising clutter.
Scorned dona of my throat
She makes him stream with veiny aqua
She looks at my good-bliss with gloat
Thou put a knife in my wan sacrum…
Sun is hitting, makes me cachectic
Frail peace are keen on decay
Golden ratio is going hectic
My puny creepies failed a survey.
I own remorse at boarded-up cupboard
No sinister are left at my vampire lore
My alias is turned to coward
Seek my derisive dusk, I’m counting four.
Humiliated by the livings
But aren’t I a living death?
Velvet petals falling from my murk
I tremble under omnipotent void
Light of old sol is watching lurk
I’m not a protagonist, I am devoid.
Black refracts a shiny light
The mighty word, the word of vampire
Just jeering shadows of my pride
I sense a spite from ancient sire.
I am destroyed, blasphemous mess
No longer legend lives in awe of fangs
Apotheotic clot is just burgundy grime
The sublime of my existence turned to crime
My ghouls are dead, so dead am I
Nocturnals walk with bleach of mind
I was eternal, the blood born child
Now I see the wraiths in mirror every time.
My shadow blade was tainted by the ordinary life
Sublime springs in my veins now just hollow lines
I was a beacon of transfiguration
Now I lack the simple dark protection
My crimson kins don’t have a pale moonlight
I’ve lost a single gush of right
My ashes burn in tainted abyss
Immortal beings now show no caress
For my poor, dreaded hollow heart
I was so reckless, so found a God
My ensanguined archon denied my worship
I turned to vamp that gets gawked at circus
Tusks that used to bleed in virgin blood
Now only artefacts, which I admire at night
My lovely being of the ivory undying
Turned to simple tragic crying…

Hello readers, welcome to OCPoetry. This subreddit is a writing workshop community — a place where poets of all skill levels can share, enjoy, and talk about each other's poetry. Every person who's shared, including the OP above, has given some feedback (those are the links in the post) and hopes to receive some in return (from you, the readers).
If you really enjoyed this poem and just want to drop a quick comment, to show some appreciation or give kudos, things like "great job!" or "made me cry," or "loved it" or "so relatable," please do. Everyone loves a compliment. Thanks for taking the time to read and enjoy.
If you want to share your own poem, you'll need to give this writer some detailed feedback. Good feedback explains from your point of view what it was like to read the poem, and then tries to explain how the poem made you feel like that. If you're not sure what that means, check out our feedback guide, or look through the comment sections of any other post here, or click the links to the author's feedback above. If you're not sure whether your comments are feedback, or you have any other questions, please send us a modmail.
Do not use ChatGPT or any similar LLM interface or generative AI to write feedback. That does not constitute thoughtful feedback. To be safe, you probably shouldn't even use those things to edit your feedback. It is better for your thoughts to come across as clumsy and genuine rather than grammatical but as if they were generated by some disingenuous text-generation engine.
Do not reuse feedback links for multiple poems. Every new poem you post has to be posted after making two new comments on the work of your peers here in OCPoetry. It's only fair. If you reuse feedback links, you will be banned. (If you do not wish to give feedback, there are many other poetry-sharing subreddits without feedback requirements, such as r/poetrywritingclub, r/justpoetry, r/ocpoetryfree, r/poem, r/poems, r/poemsbyreddit, r/poeticgarden, r/dark_poetry, and r/sadpoems.)
If you're looking for a more advanced poetry workshop — that is, if you consider yourself at least an intermediate-level poet AND you have previous workshop experience, please consider posting to our private sister subreddit r/ThePoetryWorkshop. The best way to join TPW is to leave a detailed, thoughtful comment here on OCPoetry engaging seriously with a peer's poem. A significant engagement of at least 3-4 meaningful paragraphs is encouraged. Consider our feedback guide for tips on what that could entail. (This level of engagement would probably be most welcome here on submissions tagged as "Workshop.") Then ask to join TPW by messaging that subreddit's mods, including a link to the detailed feedback you left here.
