Blood and Fire
Okay, I want as many criticisms as possible. Tell me what to do to make this better, please.
Fire and blood, they glisten How beautiful they both are They fascinate the wondering eye Fire’s never ending flame Blood's never ending shining redness As blood drips down her throat as she dies Candles showing her cold, pale face Touching her lips so cold Compared to the fire's torching flame Her blood trickling down It is putting out the lit candles little by little Leaving nothing but puddles of blood When all her blood is drained out All that is left is blood and fire The fire burning And the blood dripping The cries of this blood and fire They are so great They put a smile upon my face My blood, my fire, shall they never end |

Also, for the line that begins with "It is", I feel "It's" would flow more fluently. Other than that, I like this poem very much. |
Has potential, too many cliches.
A goth writing about blood dripping--well fancy THAT. |
Watch the redundancy. You have two consecutive lines revolving around the same adjective, "cold". One other comment; making a line that states how beautiful something is I consider to be, in this case, superfluous. Hide the line with metaphor; otherwise, it is not needed. The subject matter is one you can easily work with. Continue writing.

I would offer advice, but as my poetic skill is far from even just acceptable, I will merely offer support. I like it a lot, keep up the good work.
