THE JESUS STRANGLER is on a distinguished road
A Star of Viciousness

High atop morning star
Sits a throne laced with candle wax
Coinciding with the arrival of the sun
Shrouded in fog and bats

A kindred sceptre of blood and harsh weather
With a trident aimed at glory
In the darkness of those back woods
The mistress of Babylon mourning

Placed upon fortune and jewels
A deceptive grin summoning fools
This gold she hearts for it she'll give her head
The shed contains lots of tools

With baby's bred to butter
A lactative fed the mother
No longer thinking for herself
She will die like no other

i don't think you should trash this. it's got a lot of great lines in it, but your rhythm is off. few syllables here, few syllables there and you've got a perfected poem. why did you post this in file 13, me wonders??

i think the imagery is great in this poem, however you need to find a format and stick to it.

it's your poem, trash away if you think that's where it belongs.
