Metaphorical Stab at Christianity?
Posted May 14, 2008
The Pros
Have to admit, had to look a couple words up and do a little research on the Poemeister to understand the entirety of this poem. The first time I read it though, through all the symbolism, I believe I picked up on what you were trying to express. Whether I'm right or not doesn't matter, but the fact that I was able to take something deep out of this for myself makes this a good poem. Excellent word choice, good use of allusions, and great mechanics.
The Cons
I can see this shooting over a lot of people's heads, as I noticed reading the comments on this one. This makes some people steer away from this one, and make it look pretentious. I didn't get that vibe, but I understand how people could. Not exactly your fault though. Maybe next time aim at a broader audience?
Final Thoughts
Elegant, but a little pretentious. Expects the reader to understand a few things that only a select few would know. Good and bad at the same time depending on who's reading it. If you want more positive feedback next time, try to read your poetry as the average reader would see it. And.. is that a Megaman character?
