The myth of the mist
High on the list Of dangerous places You probably should miss Devils triangle what it is called An he resides there Shrouded in fog Sits on a throne His horns rising high He releases the thunder That shatters the sky The oceans block passage To enter his realm But sailors still venture Mad men at the helm Push through the red water Land on the rocks The ship is no use now No use for soft talk Your time is soon over Your end it is near Escape is not likely Your soul will stay here On an island called Adeptus Shackeled in chains Any who visit Are meat for his pain His torrment brings wind Torrential rain Blood boils the seas And cripples the brain Abandon all hope You shall not escape Hundreds of ships Wrecked on the cape No chance to remember A time before pain As your soul is devoured Becoming a chain Part of the system That holds him in place It is a secret God's great disgrace |

ha, i commend you on using Limmericks, bro. Very creative!
This is more of a rap site, we actually don't even have a poetry section and i'm not sure how much this will appeal to reader but i personally dug it. Are there any intricate rhyme scheme? no, but it had some nice creativity. Aside from the limmerick-like execution, i like the personification of the Bermuda as an actual Devil lol. Inventive. Hope to read more from you man.

Thanks, I'm going for lyimricical verse, it just kind of pours out like some kind of curse. Try as I might I cannot refrain, given the option of retraining brain though I'd rather I stick to what I do best, instead conformance to be like the rest.

Poem, cool...
I quite liked the simplicity of the form, I've just read a couple of verses where the rhythm was kind of ignored really so I salute you on using a semi-strict format. Reason I say semi-strict is that I noticed a couple of points where you had a bit of a stumble. "Devil's triangle what it is called" was the first hint...you're too syllable heavy on the "Devil's triangle" to follow up what "what it is known"...I possibly would've gone for: Triangle of Devils as it is known. And he resides there Shrouded in smoke. ^^ you get that more natural sound from smoke to known as well. I could continue chopping away..."push through the red water", too many stressed syllables. Interestingly, MAD MEN had a similar feeling, but that put the emphasis onto MAD which actually worked I thought, essentially, you can be subtle with it and get away...but it needs to be deliberately deployed as a tool at the right time to be effective. "Soft talk" felt awkward and didn't really fit in...I would've changed that. Penultimate stanza was better, you moved back towards that consistent rhythm and kept it simple...this felt more effective, I liked the images you created here of abandoning hope, ships being wrecked, blood boiling. Way you closed it out was clever as well, I liked the idea of being devoured and becoming a link in the system...felt the "God's great disgrace" was again a misuse of the stressed syllables, jarring effect that I didn't like. Overall, I thought you did a good job...I liked the form (generally speaking) and I liked the literal interpretation of the brief...what's beyond the triangle? The Devil. Then your descriptiveness despite your form was good. Think you could've introduced some imagery to make your descriptions more powerful. I don't think I noticed any throughout the piece, which would've added an extra layer. Keep at it.

This was pretty cool; I always respect poetry and this being a kind of different topic i figure it's not easy to write to this type of topic and still keep those same mechanics so you obviously have some skill. Now, as far as the piece as a whole it wasn't a bad piece at all; but it didn't have anything that made it stand out; the rhyme schemes came off a little basic imo; you have the idea down now I think you could work on taking the next step into possibly some character development; or adding some complexity to some of your lines; get the reader engaged in your story. Keep writing and it will come naturally; check out a few of the other pieces and make note of some of the things they did but stick around here ill keep an eye out for more of your work
