Question: Please tell me what you think of this little poem!?
The Final Hour

Death's claws are closing by
Soaring above mountins high

A soothing wind hugged the night
while moonlight kissed the oceans bright

an eerie scent ,rains of blood
thunder roared as lightning struck

And in the still before the flood,
Surrounded by the gore and muck

The remnants of an ancient fight -
The bones lie cold, a burning white

The dancing wind leaves with a sigh
At peace at last, I close my eyes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I found this poem interesting, in that I wanted to read it!. At first I thought it was about a dragon, or some kind large bird, undergoing a gruesome battle, who returns to its nest to finally rest at peace, but after I finished I wasn't to sure, or 100% positive if that's what you were going for!. Instead I rethought my interpation and decided that it was about a man, seeing: his final fate, and his surrondings that would bring him it!. I hadn't read the title as deeply as I should have!. Always a great a plot!. Can't be beat!.
I give this poem a
Fantastic 9!.0
The setting is just a tad bit too wide, but it's war-fueld, and it rocks!.
Note: I may just be hyped up about this poem, because I've read some (even too much) provoking emo, and lipstick poetry today!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Very sensitive details, but no overall meaning and the rhymes seem forced!. Try doing a little more freestyle; you have very good imagery, but try to touch on senses other than optical!. You seem to open more questions than needed, so keep it simple and try to sum up the poem in a nutshell at the end!. Questions left are for novel-sequel writers, not poets!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think you need the "And" in the eighth line!.
Maybe, "caressed" instead of "hugged" (I liked the pair of lines that it was part of, though)!.
&
"Peacefullness begins, I close my eyes"!.
