Supper

Dar-Shad 1967 (New York)



Be still the breeze coming through the dead trees. Unbridled unforgiving, A night was Christy Niven.
So many on a block. I give none that's free.
Kindred sarcasm.
Standing tall.
The cock awaits...Supper.

    Wow, what a captivating and mysterious poem! The imagery of the breeze through the dead trees sets a haunting tone right from the start. The mention of Christy Niven adds a sense of intrigue and the line "I give none that's free" leaves a powerful impact. The use of "kindred sarcasm" is thought-provoking and the image of the cock awaiting supper is both unexpected and somehow fitting.

    To enhance the poem even further, you could consider expanding on the character of Christy Niven and delving deeper into the emotions and motivations of the speaker. Additionally, you may want to explore different ways to enhance the flow and structure of the poem to create an even more impactful reading experience for the audience.

    Overall, your poem has a unique and thought-provoking quality that draws the reader in. Keep up the great work and continue to experiment with different techniques and styles to further develop your craft. Fantastic job!
