Death atop her head
A price upon her head
A soul made out of lead
She fears insanity

Emotions run like fire
Eyes glow hot with fire
Lips made out of liar
She claims sanity

She said she killed him never
He was her first true lover
Was it really never
She fears humanity

Um, ok. First, I'd didn't like the third line of the second stanza. How can her lips be made out of lair? That really threw off the rhythm of the poem. How about, "Lips portray a liar"? Also, the third stanza totally broke the sequence. You needed to repeat "never" right after the first line in order to keep this piece flowing. And since when does lover rhyme with never? Oh well, I guess this is the first piece in a while I've been able to really gut...hehehe. However, I like your style. Maybe your next poem could be longer, rhyme thoroughly, and follow an unbroken sequence of rhymes and stanzas.

I kind of agree with the liar thing... I need something better.

As for the third stanza, that was intentional. It was a subtle way of hitting people in the face with poem. Ok, I've built this whole thing up in the first two sentences, now I will wreck it two show the the chaos of humanity.
Because that is what this poem is really about. I mean, here she si going about her business when her lover dies of an unknown cause and she is the scapegoat for an unknown cause. She's going crazy not only for her lover, but now from humanity...

Um, I'm sorry to say, that is one of those 'artistic expressions' that has always eluded me.

You see, in order to represent something, in my mind, you have to relate to the thing you want to represent. In this case, I had no freaking clue that it stood for all that.

Meh, I guess I'm more down to earth. Nice poem though.

I have to agree with CHB that I had no idea thats what your poem is about. Probably because all of my poems are pretty obvious, or because I'm not that good at getting hidden messages.

Good poem though and now that you say what it is about its pretty obvious when reading it.
