Question: Do you have any thoughts on how to make this better!?
I
Have
Seen it
Slumbering
In a nightmare
Where all the dark
Things tell me trustily
My eternal rest is waiting
But my death is not the means
To its end I have been summoned
By all the powers of my unholy dreams
A question rest beneath my brow of where
It is I am meant to be or how it is I wish to go
But no one knows a way, I say, no one knows a way
Across a dead mans cold bare feet the angels,
Quailing fear to be for they know in death
We go where they will never meet us
Anymore!.
A graveyard stands as their dark bane
all the men wish theirs were the same!.
But none could conjure their desire to cease the ever
Rising fire!. A boat to carry all souls over to a land of
Restful slumber!. I will not pay my penny here, for life is still too near
Cradle of the heart and I am torn apartWww@QuestionHome@Com

I would not have noticed the boat but for AMY G's comment!. This is a very beautiful poem and I couldn't help but sing in my head!.!.!. "Save yourself a penny for the ferryman, save yourself and let them suffer!.!.!."
Of course, I will have no money for Charon, for the Styx is not my home!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It looks like a boat, with a sail!. I guess it could also be a pair of angel wings if you stretch your imagination!. This is a wonderful first draft!. The last two lines are beautiful and heartrending!. There are many unusual and engaging images throughout the poem!. The form is so unique, as well!. I think it's more than just a great start, it really only needs some punctuation to be perfect!. Thank you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well I'm not very creative so I can't really tell what it is!.!.sail boat maybe!?
But I can tell you that in the beginning you sound like you have had a dream about dieing and then it sounds like your contemplating suicide!.!.!.!.it's a little muddled but I know that after editing it will be really goodWww@QuestionHome@Com
